Comment on Intel Becomes Potential Takeover Target Of Broadcom, TSMC: Reports
remotelove@lemmy.ca 5 days ago
If Broadcom takes over Intel, get ready for a wild ride and don’t expect any kind of innovation ever again. If there ever was a backdoor in Intel CPUs, expect it to be opened up and used for licensing extortion. (That seems far fetched until you realize how fucking shady Broadcom is.)
While I shifted to the AMD bandwagon a while ago, I really wanted Intel’s GPUs to develop more over the next decade and split the market up a bit more. Sigh.

I’m in the industry but don’t know much about broadcom. What makes you say that?

It’s just how their past takeovers went. Like Symantec oder VMware.

Broadcom is a scavenger predator

The scavenger predator formerly known as Avago Technologies Limited currently wears Broadcom as a skinsuit to disguise hostile takeovers as normal tech mergers.
