> Well Google has reduced reliance on Broadcom already. They found a new hardware partner, MediaTek

Oh dear god. I'm actually feeling sorry for Google at that point. Good luck, you'll need it...



MediaTek was spun out of UMC. UMC was a powerhouse of ASIC design.


My hunch is that this change is driven by bean counters.


Who says Google isn't doing its own designs mostly?


Oh they definitely are. But as a transitional step, replacing Broadcom with MediaTek is probably mostly about cost.
