The acquisition of Qualcomm by Broadcom is still in the process of continuous fermentation. The event has been in uproar since last year. However, for both Broadcom and Qualcomm, things have become somewhat different now. According to the introduction of the Wall Street Journal, Intel feared that the hostile acquisition of Qualcomm by Broadcom would pose a threat to it. Intel also began to seek an acquisition plan. If Broadcom could successfully acquire Qualcomm, Intel would consider acquiring Broadcom.

Qualcomm, which originally held the shareholders' meeting on March 6, will postpone the meeting for 30 days due to the order of the US government. Through commercial means, Broadcom successfully made Jacobs resign as chairman of the board of directors. At the upcoming general meeting of Qualcomm shareholders, Broadcom has won the support of 6 of the 11 shareholder seats. Jacobs and Steve Mollenkopf, who opposed Broadcom's acquisition, are now facing the risk of losing their shareholder seats.

Industry insiders said that as long as the U.S. government did not block the acquisition, the acquisition of Qualcomm by Broadcom would be a certainty. At this time, for Intel, the combination of Broadcom and Qualcomm would undoubtedly pose a huge threat to it. The strong alliance between Broadcom and Qualcomm has caused great turbulence in the chip industry. Intel has already begun to seek its own acquisition plan. If Broadcom can successfully acquire Qualcomm, Intel will consider acquiring Broadcom.
