Qualcomm has secured Meta as a customer for its upcoming data center AI chips, signaling a significant revenue stream for the company's nascent enterprise silicon division.

Future announcements regarding other major cloud providers or enterprise deployments will be critical indicators of Qualcomm's long-term viability in this sector.
