Qualcomm Reportedly Taps Intel With An Acquisition Offer in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I don't recall Qualcomm trying to buy ARM.

Thanks for correcting me.

That'd be a more horizontal acquisition than a vertical one as Qualcomm doesn't make x86 chips so they can at least argue it wouldn't be anti-competitive.

Not sure if AMD and Nvidia, will see it that way, and they will probably lobby to stop the deal.

I don't know what this site wants me to allow, but no thanks. in c/[email protected]

This is never going to get regulatory approval. FTC will move to block the this acquisition.

~~Qualcomm~~ wasn't allowed to buy ARM, no way it gets to buy Intel.

Edit :I stand corrected.

It was Nvidia trying to buy ARM.
