I just saw this reported on like 5 different sites. Reportedly, Qualcomm has extended an acquisition offer to Intel.

 

No indication that it will actually go through … yet. But Intel hasn’t exactly been on a good luck streak recently…

Qualcomm buying Intel makes no sense because of AMD's ace in the hole

Reports say Qualcomm wants to buy Intel's struggling chip business, but doing so would threaten the longstanding x86 patent licensing agreements between Intel and AMD.

 

In short... Qualcomm buying Intel smells like a story intended to move financial markets more than an actual possibility.

I don't see this happening. Just wait until AMD makes their next mistake and there will be a new crisis ripe for blowing out of proportion and ready for media exacerbation.
