    1. Like the 273rd post about this, I’ll paraphrase some of my thoughts that I’ve put out on other posts

      > Lowball bids by ‘competitors’ and sharks in an attempt to secure easy capital and the largest collection of x86 IP globally before Intel foundry turnaround.

      > QCOM can’t afford Intel. They can barely afford the ARM laptops they put out, and they’re losing their main customers, Apple and Samsung. Their revenue is still way lower than Intel’s when you use their BEST year of 40B. QCOM is a tiny company by comparison in assets, IP, cash, and revenue.

      > None of the companies trying to acquire can run a fab, and neither TSMC or Samsung want Intel’s fabs.

      > Intel will not sell any part of their main business units. If they sell anything it’ll be Altera or Mobileye, or a ‘joint fab’ where they own 51%.
