[サンフランシスコ／ニューヨーク ５日 ロイター] – Qualcomm, a major American semiconductor company
Intel
The company is considering buying part of Samsung Electronics’ design division to bolster its product portfolio, two people familiar with the matter said.
Qualcomm reportedly considered buying any part of Intel’s business, as Intel is considering downsizing and selling assets to free up cash.
Qualcomm is particularly interested in Intel’s client-PC design division, but is looking at the design division in general, the people said, and doesn’t see other parts of the company, such as its server division, as suitable targets.
An Intel spokesman said Qualcomm had not approached the company about a takeover. “We are committed to our PC business,” the spokesman said. Qualcomm did not respond to a request for comment.
