Re:Qualcomm to buy NXP for $38B in largest chip deal by throwaway2048 on Thursday October 27, 2016 @12:34PM (#12806617)
Qualcomm buying AMD would be awful, they are a 100% closed vendor, and wont even supply spec sheets/chip details if you arn't a $1mil+ a year customer.

They completely ruined Atheros wifi chips for instance. Pre-buyout they had the best featureset, and even open source firmware. Now they have a massive closed firmware driverlike-blob and you can't even set your MAC address. Pathetic.
