Assuming there is something that is similar or copied in Intel Chips that came from Qualcomm, isnt it protected by Copyright and Patents already? Besides, Almost everything in hardware can be reverse engineered, there isn't a trade secret than cannot be unravelled just by analysing the output of the chips. Hell Cyrix did just that in the previous century to create better chips than Intel. There isnt a reason why Apple would do something which Intel can do on its own.

- snaky 8y ago> just by analysing the output of the chips That's easier to do with simple digital chips (but not so easy). That's completely different story with mixed-signal.
