<It is bad in the contents of QCOM having to fight INTC efficiency in manufacturing >

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe Q outsources all ASIC manufacturing already - to INCT, IBM and others. So isn't it already getting good efficiencies in manufacturing?
And I would assume that INTC's renegotiated royalty will take into account the markup Q pays to INTC for manufactured product.

>> Will it be a zero sum game, plus, or a negative, for QCOM if the get out the manufacturing of ASICs?

If Intel pays qcom 40% royalties, it would be a zero sum game. Not in this lifetime <g>.
