Qualcomm needs to worry about more than just naming changes. Google recently hired Manu Gulati, an Apple micro-architect, who worked on the Apple mobile SOC team for eight years to lead their mobile SOC. So look for Google to replicate what Apple has been doing with their mobile SOC in a couple of years, which can't be good news for Qualcomm, to have all those companies with deep pockets competing against them.
Qualcomm already have their hands full with Apple, because Apple can spend the cash on their wide silicons whereas Qualcomm can't for costs reasons. Why spend that kind of silicon cash if the people you are going to sell them to can't afford it.
