If you look at the earlier postings and news reports about Intel delaying mobile products, it almost makes sense for Intel to scrap their mobile division and just buy QCT. They could buy into the momentum QCT already has in the market. QCT could get access to more advanced process nodes. Qualcomm could focus on QTL profits and spin up a new business. Seems like a winning play from a business point of view!

No sh*t Sherlock. This has been Jana's game plan all along.
Let them first take care of their layoffs and altera layoffs when they come.
