hile this Galaxy Unpacked event was largely about AI, it was indicative of a bigger vision spelled out at #CES2025 almost a couple of weeks ago. www.linkedin.com/posts/leonar... #galaxyunpacked

This morning, I’m attending the Galaxy Tech Forum. www.linkedin.com/posts/leonar...

Hope you all have some wonderful end of the year celebrations planned. We will be releasing our 2025 Mobile Industry Predictions Survey results tomorrow. Thanks to all our colleagues who participated.

Happy New Year! Have a great 2025!

Earlier this season, I had a chance to talk to my friend @nextcurve.bsky.social about insights from Mobile Future Forward this year. Have a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Xw...

Just dropped the video version of our podcast episode on the neXt Curve reThink Podcast recapping the month of November in the world of semiconductors with Jim McGregor of TIRIAS Research and Karl Freund of Cambrian-AI Research. youtu.be/Jq6gjkbGNC0?...

Just dropped the webcast of my chat with Prakash Sangam on Marvell’s Industry Analyst Day 2024 on the neXt Curve reThink. Check it out and subscribe! youtu.be/snes7GQVBUY?...

Diffusion is not adoption. Experimentation and curiosity are not adoption. I see too many studies and articles these days on emerging and hyped tech that get these basic things highly twisted. Ask better questions. Be less confused.

No, I won’t be turning this on. I have a hard enough time opting into their “Optional Connect Experiences”. Unfortunately things like Outlook plug-ins are disabled. Not sure how this works in the EU but I’m sure GDPR does not allow it. www.techspot.com/news/105943-...

Proud to that neXt Curve has made a generous donation this year to www.elevateourkids.org. This year, Elevate Our Kids is partnering with T-Mobile again to put connectivity and laptops in the hands of kids K-12 in Asheville impacted by Helene. Please donate. Happy Holidays!

Dropped the audio version on Buzzsprout last month but here is the video version on the neXt Curve reThink YouTube channel featuring Prakash Sangam and Earl Lum to recap 5G Americas Analyst Forum 2024. Check it out! youtu.be/OUTcx-SEUxg?...

I had the pleasure of having my good friend and renewed telco analyst and consultant, @chetansharma.bsky.social on the reThink Podcast to talk about MFF 2024. Check it out here! youtu.be/b0XwLyS1WlA?...

Kudos to Prakash Sangam of Tantra Analyst for flying out to Delaware for one of the big headlines of the week, if not THE HEADLINE, Arm and @qualcomm.bsky.social are in court. Yes, it is the Nuvia-related case from more than two-years ago. www.linkedin.com/posts/prakas...

I didn’t got to MWC Las Vegas 2024, but my buddy, Earl Lum did. A rather brutal recap, but some reality that hopefully will shape the future of the show for the better in 2025 and beyond. Enjoy, like, and share! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tu1...

The interesting thing about the Broadcom results was that Infrastructure Software gross and operating profit and margins were huge thanks to VMware. It’s also notable that AI semiconductors are margin dilutive compared to non-AI. Interesting.

Prakash Sangam of Tantra Analyst and I recap Marvell Industry Analyst Day 2024 which was pretty much all about custom, optimized accelerated infrastructure for hyperscalers. Check it out here: www.buzzsprout.com/1654726/epis... Remember to subscribe and

Jeez, almost two-years ago I had the great conversation with John Smee, SVP of Engineering at @qualcomm.bsky.social about resetting #5G and repositioning it out of the trough of disillusionment. Check it out! youtube.com/shorts/a0pMW...

You probably heard @disruptivedean.bsky.social going on about the need to reset 6G. He talks about the 6G elephants in the the room. Apparently there is a pretty big herd. Check it out here. It’s pretty thought provoking and funny. CLICK HERE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQPa...

It seems that one of the biggest challenges for GenAI supercomputing OEMs is margin dilution. Traditional data center is consistently more profitable and is recovering which is great news for the x86 portfolio of the chip guys. Yeah, supercomputing was never great business. Bragging rights.

As is the tradition, we are doing our 18th Annual Mobile Predictions Survey for 2025. We would like to request your input in the process. Those who complete the survey will receive a copy of the final results and analysis in early 2025. The survey is available at lnkd.in/eFFtNbE8 TIA.

It's hyperscaler cloud time! neXt Curve will be in Vegas next week to partake in an incredibly packed agenda of analyst briefings, roundtables, keynotes, and mingling with industry leaders and technologists at Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s event of the year, re:Invent. #reinvent #aws #technology

FTC reportedly opens antitrust investigation into Microsoft

Red Hat held their virtual Open Telco 2024 event with a focus on telco modernization and transformation using open technologies. I listened in and shared some of my takes here on this LinkedIn post: www.linkedin.com/posts/leonar... #redhat #5G #openran #rhel #technology #innovation

We just dropped this neXt Curve reThink Podcast episode of Silicon Futures to recap the happenings in the world of semiconductors and GenAI supercomputing. Check it out here and subscribe! www.buzzsprout.com/1654726/epis...

Interesting that Dell mentioned continued growth in "traditional servers" on yesterday's call. The other big mentions were "experimentation" and "proof of concepts". AI servers are margin dollar accretive and margin rate dillutive. #dell #generativeai #supercomputing #acceleratecomputing #aipc

Privacy is a big deal especially in this age of GenAI where companies are thirsting for more sources of data. We see Microsoft doing their best to capture our expertise to train their models on LinkedIn. Beware the ULA of #office365. Not cool. stocks.apple.com/AxpLhdB4bTrC...
