Rumours persist that Intel may be looking to carve off pieces of itself in order to withstand the storm it currently finds itself within. Amid reports that an action plan is imminent, it appears that Qualcomm may be moving around in its periphery, eyeing up potential acquisitions—including Intel's chip design business.
Two sources speaking to Reuters have said that Intel's client PC design business is "of significant interest" to Qualcomm's executives, but that it's also looking at all of the company's design units (via Wccftech). An Intel spokesperson has said that Qualcomm has not approached the company about an acquisition, but the thought of such a move is quite intriguing.
