Both deals [Intel, broadcom] , [Qualcomm, broadcom] are unlikely to pass regulatory muster. Further, as many have noted, Intel doesn't have a seat at the mobile table.
It just wants to thwart a [Qualcomm, Broadcom] combine that's likely to aim at Intel's jugular - the cloud/server market
- snuxoll 9y agoI hope any merger or purchase of Broadcom is thoroughly investigated, considering how much of the datacenter market and even consumer networking is reliant on them there's a lot of ways the entire industry could get messed up by the purchasing company. Between switch ASIC's like the Trident II, RAID controllers and SAS HBA's, 802.11 chips, DOCSIS modem chips, optics, etc. they are almost everywhere even if you don't see them.
