Recently, during a media interview, Cristiano Amon, the CEO of Qualcomm, made it clear that Intel's present chip - manufacturing technology has not yet reached the level required by Qualcomm, especially when it comes to the Snapdragon X series. Amon explicitly stated that, at present, Intel is not on Qualcomm's list of potential collaborators. However, he did leave the door open for future cooperation, expressing his hope that Intel would upgrade its manufacturing technology in the coming years so as to become a partner of Qualcomm.

For the time being, Qualcomm will keep depending on TSMC and Samsung Electronics for its chip production. Moreover, Qualcomm is actively pursuing business diversification. It is making forays into emerging markets like the automotive sector, with an ambitious goal of generating $22 billion in revenue from its in - vehicle and connected device businesses by 2029.
