The Wall Street Journal reported that Broadcom is considering acquiring certain parts of Intel, specifically interested in the chip design and marketing segments. Negotiations are in the preliminary stages as Broadcom may need to find a partner to purchase Intel’s chip manufacturing facilities as well.
Many may recall recent news of TSMC also considering purchasing Intel’s chip manufacturing facilities, following a proposal from the Trump administration. However, reports indicate that negotiations are currently independent of each other. There is no certainty that a deal will materialize, and both companies have not engaged in discussions at this time.
If this deal does come to fruition, it would mean Intel divesting its chip design and manufacturing segments, aligning with current industry trends.
TLDR: Broadcom is exploring the purchase of certain parts of Intel, specifically chip design and marketing segments. Negotiations are preliminary, and they may need a partner to acquire Intel’s chip manufacturing facilities. TSMC also considered a similar move, but negotiations are separate. If a deal happens, Intel would separate its chip design and manufacturing segments.
