Qualcomm has recently reportedly offered to take over Intel. However, any transaction is said to be far from reality for now.
Qualcomm, as many are aware, is a chip manufacturing company that is used by the majority of mobile device manufacturers today. In addition, Qualcomm chips also power wearable devices, smart glasses, and have recently expanded to include laptop and desktop computer chips. Qualcomm focuses on offering ARM-based chips, while Intel is more on x86-based chips.
Intel was previously a processing chip giant with a large market share, but has recently faced business challenges. Recently, Intel has started to reduce the workforce, change the strategy a bit, and even make some changes including separating their foundry company. Not only that, Intel's recently released chips also face problems, making users more cautious in getting the processing chips.
On this day. Intel's company market value is said to be around $90 billion, while Qualcomm has a company market value of around $185 billion. In addition to the acceptance by Intel shareholders, this takeover is also quite challenging, due to the authorities that may block it. For information, previously Broadcom tried to take over Qualcomm, but it was blocked by the United States.
