Small and Medium sized companies can even tap these chips by placing a miniscule order of just 100.

Although snapdragon processors have always resided in Android mobile devices, Qualcomm now plans on housing them on more than just smartphones.

With the release of its 410E and 600E chips, Qualcomm is eyeing the embedded devices market and the market for the upcoming IoT devices.

It is teaming up with Arrow Electronics so that small and medium sized manufacturers can now access its chip. With this move, Qualcomm’s foothold on the market could increase significantly.

Equipped with a Adreno 306 GPU, the 410E processor zips at 1.2Ghz. Although it support Bluetooth 4.1 its WiFi support is limited to 802.11 b/g/n and GPS.

On the other hand, the 600E is a quadcore processor which runs at 1.5Ghz, supports Buletooth 4, has WiFi support for 802.11 a to ac, has radio and GPS capabilities. This faster chip has been designed keeping resource intensive applications in mind, such as rendering 3D graphics. Fujifilm Sonosite’s iViz ultrasound machine features this processor.

The move to partner with Arrow Electronic is significant because now Qualcomm will be able to produce these chips in far smaller numbers, thus reducing its production runs. In fact, small to medium companies can even order as few as 100s at a time.

Furthermore, Qualcomm has guaranteed that it will continue to produce these chips through 2025, easing developer’s worry that they will have to re-optimise their processor centric code at every newer iteration.
