Aside from the technology, this merger probably means a bunch more downward pressure on jobs/salaries for silicon hardware people doesn't it? The consolidations in the chip industry generally have produced an oversupply of redundant roles after mergers, such that wages in silicon jobs are much lower than in software, right? This only adds more.
