There are gossips around that #Qualcomm is buying #Intel!!! If this goes through, this is gonna be a transformational deal of #2024! But why does #Qualcomm want to buy #Intel in the first place? Some of the reasons, I could figure out were - 1. #Intel is running in losses, so much so that they reported around $1.6 billion usd in Q2 2024 compared to their $1.5 billion profit in Q2 2023. So, basically they are planning to spin off some of their businesses to sustain other operations. 2. #Qualcomm is a technology and research company as it doesn't have its own foundry to manufacture chips. It majorly relies on third party manufactures like TSMC, GlobalFoundries for manufacturing. So, it would be a great deal for them if they get #Intel's manufacturing units into their arsenal. This might make them unbeatable! While the particulars of this deal are still undisclosed like who gets what from this, do you think this will include a decent #patent takeover too by #Qualcomm? Also, what happens to the ongoing #patent disputes between #Intel & #Qualcomm? #latest #innovation #semicon #semiconductor #patent #manufacture

Interesting! Qualcomm acquiring Intel’s patents could strengthen their IP and reduce dependency on external manufacturers, while also potentially impacting ongoing patent disputes between the two.
