Qualcomm's upcoming Cloud AI 100 chip will bring the company's mobile ethos to data centers. There, servers plugged into electrical power don't have to worry about drained batteries. Power is still a major limit, though, in terms of supplying enough and carrying away the waste heat that can make computers fail.

"We think in terms of performance per watt. We'll be in a very strong position in the cloud for AI," said Keith Kressin, a Qualcomm senior vice president. As for raw performance, Qualcomm's Cloud AI 100 chip should be 10 times faster than today's technology, he said.
