Comment  Qualcomm may be after more than Intel's PC design business as it has supposedly approached the x86 giant about a possible takeover.… That's what unnamed sources told the Wall Street Journal for a report published Friday.

At the time, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said the company would stop all nonessential work and has since announced it will spin off its chipmaking business, a part of the company that it had long touted as a strength over rival AMD and the many fabless chipmakers that rely on entities like Taiwan’s TSMC to produce all of their actual silicon.

News and rumors surrounding Intel have arrived in buckets lately. The latest development is an unexpected share price increase for the American chipmaker.
