Qualcomm's interest in acquiring Intel has cooled due to the complexities of the deal and increased market value of Intel, making the acquisition less feasible.
While Qualcomm's market value remained stable around $176 billion, Intel's market cap rose above $100 billion, complicating any potential acquisition with the need for a significant premium.
A significant roadblock for a Qualcomm-Intel merger would be the dependency on AMD to maintain their x86 license, which is jeopardized by any substantial ownership change.
Despite the initial buzz, many analysts were skeptical of the Qualcomm-Intel acquisition from the start, given the market dynamics and required licensing agreements.
