I don't think Jolla folks are thrilled about using Qualcomm. But they chose it for some reason.

Well, Intel is playing the catch up game for a long time already. At some point they need to really catch up. Would be interesting to see if some handsets with Merrifield are coming out next year. I suspect Intel is the only chance to get Sailfish in the future running on native drivers without libhybris hacks. Can't say about flashing aspects and so on though. Some more info about Merrifield is supposed to be published in February.
