Who says that Qualcomm are not also trying to do something in the RISCV space?

Based on LinkedIn searches, Qualcomm disbanded their general-purpose silicon IP division in Raleigh/Durham before the pandemic. So the question is, have they acquihired a team elsewhere to replace them, perhaps with more RISC-V knowledge? If not, you can infer they probably aren't seriously competing in this space.

LinkedIn is always interesting, I agree.

For example, what is cloud guy like Larry Wikelius doing at a wireless processor company like Qualcomm?
