I don’t recall Qualcomm trying to buy ARM. That was Nvidia. (though, yes, it likely would also have been prevented if it had tried)
But they’d probably have a better (but still slim) chance of getting a purchase of Intel through. That’d be a more horizontal acquisition than a vertical one as Qualcomm doesn’t make x86 chips so they can at least argue it wouldn’t be anti-competitive.

Thanks for correcting me.

Not sure if AMD and Nvidia, will see it that way, and they will probably lobby to stop the deal.
