No no no
This is never going to get regulatory approval. FTC will move to block the this acquisition.
~~Qualcomm~~ wasn't allowed to buy ARM, no way it gets to buy Intel.
Edit :I stand corrected.
It was Nvidia trying to buy ARM.
I don't recall Qualcomm trying to buy ARM. That was Nvidia. (though, yes, it likely would also have been prevented if it had tried)
But they'd probably have a better (but still slim) chance of getting a purchase of Intel through. That'd be a more horizontal acquisition than a vertical one as Qualcomm doesn't make x86 chips so they can at least argue it wouldn't be anti-competitive.
Thanks for correcting me.
Not sure if AMD and Nvidia, will see it that way, and they will probably lobby to stop the deal.
