Qualcomm has explored the possibility of acquiring portions of Intel's chip design business, according to sources familiar with the matter. This potential acquisition aims to boost Qualcomm's product portfolio. Intel is currently looking to shed business units and sell off other assets as it struggles to generate cash. The discussions include interest in Intel's client PC design business, which focuses on laptop and desktop chips. Despite these explorations, an Intel spokesperson mentioned that Qualcomm has not yet approached Intel about a potential acquisition, Reuters reports.
