That's a good point actually.
Perhaps because English is a second language for me and hence not capable of putting my sentences as eloquently as @Dr. Dro did, but thats pretty much what i have been saying on all my previous posts.

Apple itself (although I wager they'd be primarily interested in Intel's foundry business if anything, since their whole business relies on TSMC way too much).
That makes sense and one of the possible scenarios that i mentioned was buying parts of Intel as they made sense to the prospective buyers.
Apple has the money and need to take over the foundries and Qualcomm can take the rest.
Do you want to take a $200 billion
See above. In such a scenario, the price would be a lot lower.

Here's the part I was talking about ~

Obviously the exact T&C are confidential, but if push comes to shove, AMD can drag QC through the court for billions! Again, only if this goes through, which would be a hard sell right now.
While the citation for TheRegister is less than desirable, they make some excellent points that can not be ignored. More reasons why Qualcom will not be buying Intel and shouldn't be allowed to try. This is the whole NVidia/ARM situation all over again and is even more unlikely.
