    Good points. I guess what I should have more accurately said is that Intel has a long standing working relationship with the American government.

    Given that Intel is an asset to national security. I think any sort of buyout would be under intense scrutiny.

    I did miss that Qualcomm was also American though, but I still think about it would be treacherous regardless.

      Then Qualcomm would become a national security asset. 😂 In fact that alone sounds like a great reason for acquisition. It’s not every day that you get a obvious way to become too big/important to fail.

        Things don’t just become a national security asset that easily, though, a long-standing relationship with trust is something incredibly important.
