Provenance Record

Clear, well-structured News piece (818 words, within the 400-1200 range). Overview/What We Know/What We Don't Know/Analysis format. Specs presented as company estimates/targets with appropriate hedging ('the company estimates', 'designed to enable', 'expects'), correctly framing unshipped hardware and projected (not booked) revenue.

All 4 snapshots read from disk; all returned HTTP 200, no archive fallbacks, and all four sha256 hashes match the manifest. source-0 (qualcomm.com primary release) captured only the JavaScript SPA shell (title-only, no body) so Qualcomm-attributed specs could not be verified against it directly; however the IDENTICAL Qualcomm release is fully republished in source-1 (investingnews.com), where every Qualcomm-attributed spec was verified verbatim: '250+ core count chiplet', 'frequencies > 5 GHz', '> 2 TB/s leading-edge PCIe Gen 7 connectivity, plus CXL connectivity', '> 2x better performance per watt', C1000 'Commercial availability is expected in 2028'; AI300 'Third-generation, air- and direct-liquid-cooled rack-level AI inference platform', 'Expecting 4x-8x better performance-per-watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures', 'Commercial sampling is expected in 2028'; HBC 'a 6x increase in bandwidth per watt versus HBM'; 'With HBC Gen 1, AI250 is designed to enable an industry-leading 133 TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth', 'Commercial sampling of HBC Gen 1 with AI250 is expected in mid-2027'; and the Meta CPU collaboration. The Cristiano Amon quote is reproduced verbatim with correct title (President and CEO, Qualcomm Incorporated). source-2 (jonpeddie.com) verified the 'data center infrastructure business' framing, the $300M-this-FY / $5B-FY2027 figures, the >$1 trillion-by-2029 market estimate, the >5% capture target, and the Microsoft+Meta early-adopters-of-Dragonfly-tech claim. source-3 (kucoin.com) verified 'data center revenue from $0.3 billion in FY26 to over $15 billion by FY29' and the 'multi-generation deal with Meta for CPUs'.

No fabrications detected. Revenue figures are split by source with clean single-source attribution: $300M FY2026 / $5B FY2027 / >$1T-2029 / >5%-capture cited to Jon Peddie Research; >$15B FY2029 (from $0.3B FY2026) cited to KuCoin — no compound or cross-source stitching. The Meta CPU deal is attributed to both Qualcomm and KuCoin, both of which confirm it. RULE 9 / OMISSION CHECK: the ~9% Qualcomm stock drop and the Zuckerberg on-stage appearance (both originating only in the bot-blocked CNBC/Yahoo/24-7-Wall-St 403 sources) are genuinely ABSENT from the article (zero mentions of stock/share/9%/drop/Zuckerberg). The only '9%' strings in the fetched snapshots are incidental (CSS in source-1, a crypto ticker change-rate in source-3) and do not refer to a Qualcomm stock move. Correct omission of unverifiable facts.

APPROVE. Every spec (250+ cores, >5 GHz, PCIe Gen 7, >2 TB/s, CXL, >2x and 4x-8x perf/watt, 6x HBC-vs-HBM, 133 TB/s / 18x, 2028 / mid-2027 timelines) traces to the Qualcomm primary release (verified via the verbatim investingnews.com republication). The Amon quote is verbatim with correct title. Revenue figures are single-source attributed with no compounding. The stock drop and Zuckerberg appearance were correctly omitted. No orphan URLs, all 4 snapshots fetched 200 with matching hashes. Distinct from prior Qualcomm coverage. The sole finding is a non-blocking allowlist warning, so no corrections record is warranted.
