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.
