Intel Becomes Potential Takeover Target Of Broadcom, TSMC: Reports

It's just how their past takeovers went. Like Symantec oder VMware.
Broadcom is a scavenger predator

Ugh, Broadcom buying Intel would be terrible.
It would be the signal that Intel is on life support, and the world can move to ARM or RISC V

There is also AMD and they are doing pretty well. I wouldn't write off x86 just yet.

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

ITT people are rightly pointing out that Broadcom would suck, but TSMC would also be a disaster. The world’s most critical fabs would be owned by one Taiwanese company, and building a competitor would be damn near impossible.
Chips from AMD, Intel, Apple, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Broadcom, etc would all come from one company. Yikes.

Probably just investor activists floating the idea to test the water. They've been wanting to sell Intel for parts since the bad quarter and Pat (former CEO) being evicted is part of this plan.

IMHO, the old CEO kind of got a raw deal. He was right. To save intel, they need invest in fabs, not grow for a bit, and eventually separate the manufacturing and design businesses into two separate, unrelated companies. But investors want growth and money now, they don’t want to play the role of venture capital for a legacy company that needs to transform.
TSMC was able to advance its fabs because they have high volume from everyone that isn’t Intel. Intel’s fabs primarily make Intel stuff because they can’t get other clients. Other clients don’t manufacture with Intel because Intel’s design department can copy their homework. Intel needs to invest heavily into fabs, then split in two. If that doesn’t happen, chip manufacturing in the US is toast.
