I’m more concerned about AVGO VMWare customer loss, don’t you think if sufficiently pissed customers will take the opportunity to begin working towards alternatives? Been reading that competitors have seen substantially increased interest/sales in the wake of the acquisition

The alternatives are Microsoft HyperV and Nutanix. There has been some customer loss, but it is much more difficult than people think. Hock Tan is milking this SaaS thing aggressively. Some customer loss expected and it's fine.

Yes. Ming-Chi is very reliable for Apple supply-chain rumors.

Lol, with Apple developing their own modems and Intel showing with Lunar Lake that x86 can more efficient than ARM, that's don't look good for Qualcomm. But still Qualcomm has the 2nd fastest ARM cpu cores after Apple, Qualcomm can try their luck in datacenter cpu market but competition is still tough there
