Qualcomm approached Intel about acquisition, report claims
The Wall Street Journal reports a deal was discussed, but is "far from certain."
You're viewing a single thread.
Please stahp the mergers and acquisitions already pleeeeease.
What makes you think that consolidation of markets isn't how the free market operates as it matures? As if the X86 market was any way competitive and healthy before when there are literally two companies sharing critical patents with each other and gatekeeping the competition out.
There are three, I think VIA still has a foot in the game. There were quite a few companies that clean roomed, licensed or extended the x86 platform back in the day. My first machine had a NEC V20 in it and I had 386 machines with AMD, Centaur, and VIA chips…
be that as it may, my point still stands. Nobody is realistically getting into that market.
Not disagreeing, just pointing out there is a third…
What makes you think the other commenter wants chip makers to operate in a free market?
This can go exactly Two ways.
But make no mistake this is not intel’s or Qualcomm’s decision and it has nothing to do with what either company needs it is entirely up to the Us government.
I don't see how 1 is relevant, since both Intel and Qualcomm are American companies
