The Intel Apple Deal is a Nothingburger!
The latest Intel rumor that the pro Intel media are flogging is that Intel modems will be in some of the new iPhones. The deal is estimated at around $1B. An “estimated” value of a “rumor” deal is quite funny in itself but let’s take a deeper look at what we are gossiping about here.

These acquisitions included hundreds of talented engineers (estimate) some of which no longer work at Intel (rumor).
