This is never going to get regulatory approval. FTC will move to block the this acquisition.
~~Qualcomm~~ wasn't allowed to buy ARM, no way it gets to buy Intel.
Edit :I stand corrected.
It was Nvidia trying to buy ARM.
It won't, the market share is generally complementary, not competitive, the sectors tend to be different (more or less until recently).
Mostly, if people are really scared into might fold (unlikely, but we don't know everything) then the ftc will roll out the red carpet for a player like Intel.
Doubt it will happen, qcomm is too smart, but it's not unthinkable, and it would give qcomm domination over US cpus, save hyperscalers.
It only happens if people are truly terrified.
