If you believe QCOM can sustain its superior margins (operating margin ~27.9%) and high ROIC (45.4%) while trading at a lower EV/EBITDA (9.9x) than INTC (14.6x), then buy QCOM because its stronger profitability, positive earnings ($5.5B) and lower net leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA 0.4x) support upside relative to INTC; otherwise avoid if you expect INTC to rapidly normalize earnings (which would compress QCOM's relative valuation).
QCOM trades within its historical band (133.25 vs 119.92-146.58) and below the top of INTC-implied range, while showing a valuation discount to INTC on EV/EBITDA and slightly on P/S. P/E comparisons are distorted because INTC reports negative earnings, so EV/EBITDA and P/S are the more reliable bases for relative valuation here.
