Don't hold your breath, Nguyen, waiting for CYMI to fall below $20. QCOM is a great company but a different animal. Telecom, besides a highly regulated industry in terms of standards and competition, has many entrenched giants competing for infrastructure contracts e.g. Ericcson and GSM. QCOM has to overcome an industry bias towards older more established standards. CYMI on the other hand has no competition for all intents and purposes and any chip manufacturer looking to get a leg up their competitors via cost can opt for smaller geometries using Cymer lasers.
