Qualcomm gets access to our high tech foundry business while we get access to their culture and competitiveness
Atleast they will come and fire these useless middle managers and 50% of these free loader principle engineers who sit all day and do nothing.
They will also mandate to hire locals only. So no H1Bs anymore
It will set our domestic chip manufacturing well to compete with TSMC.
Buy American and Hire American.
Qcom is going skull fuquck us
These are the guys who keep Corporate America running...quiet guys who keep to themselves...maintaining the shell scripts that glue everything together
No, those are the guys who talk the most in meeting, su-k up to managers the most, complain about how much work they have, and aggrandize the work they do. They know how worthless they are and are only around because of corporate welfare. These "guys" could easily be replaced by the ones who actually build and maintain stuff, the ones who keep corporate America running, and they wouldn't complain about the extra work. Companies full of those guys would result in America looking like India.
“Remember the very fat man? He is Qualcomm.”
Santa? Now, let’s not bring him into this. He’s scheduled to be delivering soon and he doesn’t need any more trouble than FedEx.
You intel kids getting ready to be acquired by Qualcomm?. We drove you out of mobile and automotive business so we can fix your mess ..
"There were so many people who just updated shell scripts and compiled open source projects,"
These are the guys who keep Corporate America running. I say "guys" because they always are guys - quiet guys who keep to themselves, eat alone in the lunchroom, stay in the background, never talk in meetings . . . and keep on writing and maintaining the shell scripts that glue everything together. Without these guys, everything stops.
I've worked at Qcom. Worst company I've worked at. If you weren't working in San Diego, you got cr-p projects. Politically the worst company. There were so many people who just updated shell scripts and compiled open source projects, but still got promoted because they were friends with the manager.
Government knows how cr-ppy Qcom is. Intel is too valuable geopolitically to risk being mucked by Qcom. They've stopped acquisitions because of geopolitics before, such as when they stopped Bcom acquiring Qcom.
QCOM wants the IP and not the employees. 5-10% of the employees would survive to help with the transition the rest would immediately be toast with a minimum payout ie the 60 days required by WARN. This would be an epic disaster for Intel employees.
if it happens Life will be miserable us. There will be very little career advancement. Qualcomm will advance their own over us and treat us like slave labor garbage people. There will always be favoritism towards those born Qualcomm. We will be the red headed step child.
Bargain for QCOM, sell fab and related debt to Global Foundries (with a little help from my fiends... with music ) and keep CCG and DCAI to win the market
Best for who exactly? Qualcomm is doing this only to ki-l to competition. Do you think they will need Lunarlake or Pantherlake when they have their own designs directly competing with them? If they buy CCG they will lay off 70% of the workforce there.
Selling CCG the main thing funding the fab? Get a huge fab cash injection short term but wreck yourself longer term? Well... Sounds like Intel tbf
"So no H1Bs anymore"
HAHAHAHAHA dream on!
qualcomm will ask them to design on tsmc.
and then if intel process catches up with tsmc then will ask qualcomm to design using intel's.
Dear Qualcomm, better acquire Marvell. MR was a disaster.
Qcom chips will not work competitively or at all with Intel foundry as constituted today. It's a pipe dream. Qcom outsources to Asia and Europe faster than you can spell GTFO of the USA.
The only people who think Intel foundry is competitive work at Intel. It's not cost competitive, area competitive, nor accepting of high performance designs. A merger would be supremely stupid for both parties. That's probably why it will happen anyway. Both companies are good at bad decision making. Think the long list of CEO failures at Intel and Murthy as a Qcom import. Disaster.
Intel high tech foundry business? Or more like high cost foundry business. Their income will drop to negative by using it.
I’m not buying it - would be bad for both companies imho. Also don’t see how qcom could make an offer the board would support … though with those Bozos nothing would suprise me. Competition authorities may also have something to say … qcom dominate their space , Intel dominates (despite current issues) our space … combined feels anti competitive
I think this is in the works...too many news outlets are talking about it.
Lol, dude thinks Q doesn't have any outsourced workers. It's FULL of them.. enjoy
With intel inside Qcom
Does that mean foundry can finally fill the fabs under construction without competing directly with the csp or OEMs
Just the natural competitive enemy of x86 AMD and GPU NVIDIA
SPEND FOUNDARY EFFORT ON CUSTOM FOR THE CSPs that are the future of the users of humanities electrical grid
American design built and sold
Exit PRC because they are cutting foreign silicon off anyway.
Mega Murthy is a product of QCOM, if the company is run like that, I'll pass.
Here we are again, speculations, rumors turning into reality
Makes sense for Qualcomm to take ProdCo. For foundry highly doubt it
I’m betting a grand, this deal is happening
The very thin Pat eaten by the very fat Murthy.
Murthy ran Qualcomm.
Lots of people that are like him there.
Qualcomm is POS.
Remember the very fat man? He is Qualcomm.
It's a patent troll. The rest ain't that important.
It would allow for an orderly wind-down and decommissioning of the legacy x86 architecture as Windows shifts to Snapdragon and other Arm CPUs.
