Qualcomm is looking to call time on its chips for servers, potentially ending its early foray into the datacentre world.

The company is trying to figure out if it should stop trying to compete in a market dominated by Intel and IBM, according to a Bloomberg report.

Qualcomm’s original push into the datacentre world was prompted by a bid to get ARM-designed chips into servers for high-end computing.

Chief financial officer Steve Mollenkopf told analysts that Qualcomm is reducing its spending on areas of its business that aren’t core drivers of revenue.
