Qualcomm is reportedly eyeing a takeover of Intel, a move that could shake up the semiconductor industry. While Qualcomm excels in mobile chips, Intel has struggled in recent years with manufacturing issues and a shrinking market share.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo warns this deal could be risky. Qualcomm could gain from Intel's data center expertise, but turning around Intel’s declining business might be tough. Plus, the deal could face antitrust scrutiny and heavy financial costs, making it a potentially risky move for Qualcomm.
