A few weeks ago, rumors circulated that Qualcomm was interested in acquiring Intel, though it seems this move is on hold until after the U.S. elections. Now, fresh reports from Moore’s Law Is Dead suggest that other tech giants, including Samsung and Apple, may also be considering buying Intel. These speculations come as Intel’s stock sees a downward trend, despite its significant presence in both the consumer and business markets.
The first company linked to Intel in these rumors, Qualcomm, faces challenges with its Arm license, making an x86 license highly advantageous for its future projects. For Apple, acquiring Intel could allow the company to customize its future processors without needing Arm licensing. Meanwhile, a merger between Intel and Samsung could yield powerful synergies, with both companies being major players in different sectors of manufacturing.
Intel’s struggles are hard to miss. It recently launched its Core Ultra 200S processors for desktop computers, which, according to some vendors, have not been well-received. The leading processor manufacturer has had to cut costs, including layoffs and canceling prominent events from previous years.
Intel has poured resources into modernizing its semiconductor manufacturing plants and developing standalone graphics cards, which it later integrated into its processors. These investments seem to have left Intel financially strained—an opportunity that other major companies might want to take advantage of.
