Qualcomm is not the most dominant chip designer in basically any market section. Intel is the worst of the best fabs.

Still, I think there would be some serious antitrust scrutiny.

They might let Qualcomm take the Intel design business but make them split out fabrication. Qualcomm might not be interested in that offer, thoguh.

5G modems. Their only competitor was Intel until Apple bought that business, but afaik they’re still using Qualcomm.

They is also pretty much a duopoly in mobile chips in the western market.

Doesn't Mediatek have 5g modems? and Samsung? Do they license Qualcomm tech?
