Broadcom acquiring VMware for $61 bln but the UK is closely watching the deal

0

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) of the United Kingdom said on Monday that it has launched a preliminary investigation into Broadcom’s proposed acquisition of VMware. The agency is now collecting feedback from interested parties by December 6th to help them decide whether to officially begin a detailed phase 1 investigation into the transaction.

The CMA said it was considering whether this transaction constitutes a ‘relevant merger situation as defined by the Enterprise Act of 2002, and if it does, ‘whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.’

Following the preliminary assessment, the CMA may launch a full ‘phase 1’ investigation if it believes the acquisition will result in a significant decline in competition in any UK markets.


 The $61 billion Broadcom-VMware deal, announced in May, is the second largest in 2022, after Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision, and shows Broadcom’s ambition to push into enterprise software.

Broadcom’s most well-known business is its chip division, which designs and manufactures semiconductors for modems, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth chips used in some products. On the other hand, VMware has long been regarded as one of the key participants in the cloud computing industry. Large corporations utilize their services to manage data centers, private and public cloud networks, and other infrastructure.

Broadcom might diversify away from its primary business of developing and selling chips and into corporate software, which has the potential for better profits, by purchasing VMware.

To accelerate innovation and meet the most demanding IT infrastructure requirements, Broadcom claims that the new company would provide corporate customers with a greater selection of significant infrastructure solutions.

The proposed merger between Broadcom and VMware is also being investigated by the European Commission, which plans to announce its preliminary findings on December 20. The US Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) probe into the deal has evolved to a more in-depth stage.

Due to worries about the concentration of too much market power in too few hands and the potential for larger firms to purchase start-ups solely to shut them down, regulators from all over the world have been closely scrutinizing tech mergers.

A few years back, Broadcom made a $117 billion acquisition bid for Qualcomm. But previous President Donald Trump vetoed the agreement, claiming national security issues. Nevertheless, Broadcom continued to look for new M&A deals. In 2018, it invested almost $18 billion to buy business software provider CA Technologies. The enterprise security division of Symantec was acquired the following year for around $11 billion.

Intel Foundry Services head steps down from his position

0

According to a report from The Register that was confirmed by Intel, Randhir Thakur, the head of Intel’s contract chip fabrication unit, has quit. He will continue to manage Intel Foundry Services through the first quarter of 2023 to guarantee a smooth transfer to a new leader.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger sent an email to workers congratulating Randhir Thakur for helping to build IFS and for being crucial in the company’s IDM 2.0 business strategy. Indeed, Randhir Thakur has much to be proud of at IFS. During his tenure, Intel revealed its intention to acquire Tower Semiconductor (which would immediately make Intel one of the biggest contract makers of chips). He was also key in striking arrangements with major chip developers such as MediaTek, which is also one of TSMC’s main clients. This was a significant gain for IFS, which also received a contract from the US Department of Defense for the Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes – Commercial (RAMP-C) program.

“Randhir has been a key member of the Executive Leadership Team for the past two and a half years and has served in several senior leadership roles since he joined us in 2017,” Intel’s CEO wrote in the email quoted by The Register. “His contributions to our [Integrated Device Manufacturing] 2.0 transformation are many but most notable is his leadership in standing up our IFS business.”

But based on what we know about Intel’s process technology roadmap through 2025, IFS is hardly a perfect contract chipmaker.

Although Intel is an IDM (Integrated Design Manufacturer), the company’s intentions as of now mostly align its production nodes to its fabrication methods, which may not be enough to convince businesses like Apple, AMD, and Nvidia to use IFS services for their high-volume products.

The most sensible course of action for Intel may be to transfer management of the foundry branch to Tower Semiconductor. The deal is expected to be finalized in February 2023, which is close to Randhir Thakur’s departure date. The management experience will be crucial for the future of IFS because Tower Semiconductor has been developing its roadmap in collaboration with its clients for years.

In the third quarter of the company’s fiscal year 2022, the Intel Foundry Services business unit made $171 million, which might not sound like much given that it represented about 1.1% of the total sales of the organization. The business has not yet made its cutting-edge technologies available to significant clients.

Cody Gakpo set for big transfer in 2023 after brilliant performances

Cody Gakpo scored the first of two late goals for Netherlands as they defeated Senegal 2-0 to start their 2022 World Cup with a win. 

The Dutchman has been in fine form this year, and has already racked up 33 goals and assists across all competitions. As a result, a move to a top club is certainly on the cards for him in the summer of 2023. 

Cody Gakpo expected to move from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 

A Premier League transfer was almost done for the winger this summer. The likes of Southampton, Leeds United, Manchester United and Arsenal were all interested in signing him. 

However, they were unwilling to match the €50 million asking price that PSV Eindhoven had placed. Next summer will also see the same price tag quoted for Cody Gakpo. However, it now seems like a bargain compared to the other huge deals that take place in the transfer market. 

Arsenal could lead the race to sign him in the summer, despite having a strong interest in Mykhaylo Mudryk during the January window. After the World Cup, we should have more clarity about the clubs interested in Gakpo. 

Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract mutually terminated by Manchester United with immediate effect

0

Manchester United have terminated Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract by mutual agreement, as confirmed by their official website. 

The club have been forced to cancel the striker’s contract after his interview with Piers Morgan, where he publicly called out the owners, board, manager and his teammates.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract terminated prior to World Cup opener 

“Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect.

“The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future.

“Everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to deliver success on the pitch,” the official statement from Manchester United read. 

Ronaldo has come under strong criticism for his words against the club. And while it was expected that he wouldn’t be allowed to play for the club again, most people probably didn’t see his exit coming this soon. 

Disciplinary issues have plagued the Portugal international’s season, with him walking out of the game against Spurs. He has also said that he doesn’t respect Erik Ten Hag publicly, alongside a series of other such comments. 

And after United’s termination of the contract, it remains to be seen where the veteran will play his football in the new year. 

Pep Guardiola agrees new contract with Manchester City until 2025

0

Pep Guardiola has verbally agreed to extend his contract for two more years until 2025. The Catalonian took charge of Manchester City in 2016, and has been able to transform City into the undisputed kings of England. 

They have won four of the last five Premier League titles, and are also a force to be reckoned with in Europe. And with the manager’s renewal, their domination is only expected to continue for the next three seasons. 

Pep Guardiola agrees contract renewal with Manchester City 

Guardiola’s current deal runs out at the end of the ongoing season. According to David Ornstein, the renewal will be for one year with an option on both the club and the manager’s part to continue for another season after that. 

The 51-year-old has always expressed his happiness with the Sky Blues. He remains very content with the way things are, and as a result there were few issues to overcome to get him to commit. 

Manchester City are currently second in the Premier League table, five points behind Arsenal, led by Pep Guardiola’s former assistant, Mikel Arteta. They are also through to the knockout stages of the Champions League after winning their group. 

MG Hector SUV facelift Spied on Indian Roads

0

The Hector SUV, MG Motor’s key volume producer in the Indian market, will shortly undergo a facelift. This will be the second update for Hector to be released in 2019. Extended equipment list, particularly 14-inch touchscreen and ADAS, will allow for increased competitiveness against the likes of XUV700, Harrier, and Alcazar.

Because the improvements will raise Hector’s prices, MG will continue to sell the 2021 model alongside the facelift version. Based on demand, the decision to withdraw the older model could be made later. Other automakers, such as Mahindra and Honda, have already used this strategy. It will allow MG to reach a wider range of potential clients with various budgets.

A prominent diamond mesh grille will replace the current trapezoidal studded grille as one of the primary modifications for the 2023 Hector facelift. Hector already has a commanding street presence, which will be accentuated by this new premium, royal-looking grille.

The top-mounted LED DRLs appear to be the same, while the headlamps and front bumper have been significantly adjusted. The side and back profiles haven’t been changed significantly. The interiors receive a significant update with a new dual-layer dashboard. The cockpit area is very gorgeous, especially with the mood lighting and the big, vertically positioned 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Hector has a 10.4-inch touchscreen as of right now. Curvy, D-shaped AC vents that match the cool interiors are among the other improvements. Piano black and chrome are liberally used to further improve the overall look and feel. The upholstery will also be modified depending on the individual version.

MG’s i-Smart connectivity platform will likely get a few additional capabilities. It is possible to expand voice and Hinglish commands. Hector currently knows more than 100 voice commands as well as more than 35 Hinglish instructions. Voice assistance for regional languages is an additional function that is useful in a multilingual nation like India. This function is now available on Hyundai’s BlueLink communication system.

Hector’s redesign in 2023 is anticipated to include ADAS technologies with an emphasis on increased safety. The range could be comparable to the Astor, which offers speed assist, adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, blind spot recognition, lane keep assist, front collision warning, rear-drive assist, and intelligent headlamp control.

The same 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline and hybrid versions as well as 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engines will be available. The 6-speed manual or CVT transmission can be used with the 143 PS/250 Nm gasoline engine. Only a 6-speed manual gearbox is available for the petrol hybrid powertrain. The 6-speed manual transmission is paired with a diesel engine that has 170 PS and 350 Nm of torque. There were rumors that MG may provide an automatic transmission with the diesel engine, however, MG has clarified that the diesel AT Hector will not be released. On January 5, 2023, a new Hector will debut.

Twitter: Elon Musk announced that the company will soon begin its hiring process

0

Twitter CEO Elon Musk says the firm is done with layoffs and is hiring again after firing around two-thirds of the microblogging platform’s 7,500 employees in barely three weeks after taking control. Musk also said during a meeting with employees that Twitter is currently actively hiring for positions in engineering and sales, according to The Verge.

Twitter presently has no open openings published on its website, and Musk did not specify which engineering or sales positions the business was looking for.

“In terms of critical hires, I would say people who are great at writing software are the highest priority,” the report quoted Musk as saying.

According to the CEO, there are “no plans” to put the company’s headquarters in Texas, as he did with Tesla, however “dual-headquartered” locations in Texas and California might make sense.

“If we want to move the headquarters to Texas I think it would play into the idea that Twitter has gone from being left-wing to right-wing, which is not the case,” Musk told employees. “This is not a right-wing takeover of Twitter. It is a moderate-wing takeover of Twitter,” he added.
