You all write correctly, Qualcomm, like Intel, are turning into stupid cheaters through increased consumption, rather than saving consumption while increasing productivity.
And all this follows from a simple and obvious fact - a dead end in silicon technologies - productivity growth per 1W is continuously slowing down and companies no longer have anything to offer consumers at a qualitatively different level than before.
All that remains are vile schemes of artificial aging and forcing customers to buy things they don't need. And also maximum damage to the planet's ecology for the sake of profit...
