If the Qualcomm-Intel deal goes through, it could result in one of the largest M&A deals ever, surpassing Microsoft Corporation's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Intel's second-quarter earnings reflected an 84.62% decline from the same period last year. The company reported quarterly earnings of 2 cents per share, which fell significantly short of the analyst consensus estimate of 10 cents.

In August it was reported that a prominent board member at Intel, Lip-Bu Tan resigned from his position following a dispute with CEO Pat Gelsinger and other directors.

This raised concerns about the company's direction.
