Intel and Qualcomm may potentially merge their chip businesses

This is pure speculation at the moment, but Qualcomm’s announcement that it’s considering splitting its business to increase shareholder value could result in a deal with Intel. The businesses would be split based on component parts, and the chip business would have plenty of potential suitors, but Intel would be the one that made the most sense. Such a deal would certainly be good for Intel as it would give the company a much-needed boost to its mobile business.
