Recent reports seem to point towards Qualcomm having approached Intel about a possible takeover of the entire chip manufacturer.

At the time, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said the company would stop all nonessential work and has since announced it will spin off its chipmaking business, a part of the company that it had long touted as a strength over rival AMD and the many fabless chipmakers that rely on entities like Taiwan’s TSMC to produce all of their actual silicon.

Is this from the same gossips who were wrong about Altera and Mobileye or the DoJ subpoenaing Nvidia? Comment Qualcomm may be after more than Intel's PC design business as it has supposedly approached the x86 giant about a possible takeover.
