Qualcomm is a leading mobile phone chip supplier, in recent years, by virtue of the ARM architecture-based processor into a laptop running Windows RT system market, the business has been a great development. It is said that Dell and Samsung are Qualcomm's customers. Qualcomm is said to have been staring at the server market. Five years ago, AMD's Opteron chip caused big trouble for Intel,AMD is well aware of the server business, which will help Qualcomm to enter the server market. AMD also maintains a close relationship with the chip manufacturer, Qualcomm and other plant manufacturers rely on those the chip factory production chip. AMD has maintained a good relationship with the world's second-largest plant GlobalFoundries , which basically AMD manufacturing sector in 2009 was spun off. In addition, AMD also has a part in the world's largest chip plant TSMC leading 28-nanometer chip production capacity share. With this layer factors alone, Qualcomm will acquire AMD. AMD current share price is at a historic low area, market capitalization dropped to $ 2,000,000,000. Even the most generous 50% premium rate calculation, the acquisition price will not be over 3 billion U.S. dollars. Qualcomm certainly has more than $ 3 billion of cash as of June, Qualcomm's assets liabilities table display on its holdings of cash and short-term investments of $ 13.4 billion, from this perspective, the funds certainly not affect Qualcomm to decide acquisition of AMD one of the reasons. Most agree that Qualcomm should buy AMD may have overlooked: from the point of view of the acquisition, AMD is a very complex company. All understand the chip industry people know that no matter who acquired AMD, Intel eventually have to face. For decades, Intel and AMD reached a series of complex and secret cross-licensing agreement, AMD to use Intel's x86 architecture. In view of the above analysis, no matter how beautifully rumors about AMD may be acquired , it probably is not true, because this is not an easy task. |
