- Qualcomm says it’s willing to team up with a consortium of rivals to buy Arm.

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon told the Financial Times that the company was interested in investing in Arm. However, Amon said Qualcomm was even willing to team up with its rivals to buy the Softbank-owned chip designer outright.
