Swallow this! - Infineon in takeover rumor by Samsung or Intel

[EETimes] has an article on rumors that Samsung and possibly Intel might be interested in taking over Infineon.

If you look at it more carefully, it is very surprising that Intel may be in the fray, bolstered by the recent fact that Chipzilla has been tragetting Indian and Chinese markets in the recent past to build its processor and chipset markets. Well, Intel sits on a large pile of $$, seeking it to invest into future-prone markets as suggested earlier. And Infineon, with its 3G mobile phone technology that some say is in a leading position beating TI by miles, could be an interesting target, and it even would be affordable. But a close look, however, shows that Intel's business model provides for an extremely focused product range and production in very high volumes. So Infineon perhaps might be easy to swallow but difficult to digest but shouldnt be a problem in the long run if they adopt a more flexible strategy for the mobile market bringing in innovation. What i mean here is a change in paradigm to come up with an idea similar to the desktop or server platforms.

How small can a cell phone become anyway?
