1820-604: The British parent company unsuccessfully tried to oust the chief executive of the subsidiary, who, however, managed to retain his position. A prevailing view emerged that the matter would negatively affect the pending approval by the Chinese regulators of the Softbank-Nvidia deal, as well as any public offering of Arm. In September 2021, despite Arm's denial, reports stated that the chief executive of Arm China, whom
1885-1050: The British parent had tried to dismiss, had publicly declared the "independence" of Arm China. In February 2022, Allen Wu, the CEO of Arm China, floated the idea of a public offering of the Chinese subsidiary in 2025. On 29 April 2022, it was reported that the CEO and legal representative of Arm China had finally been replaced according to legally recognized filings. However, Allen Wu continued to dispute this. Subsequently, in 2023, key staff left to form their own chip design startup Borui Jingxin , which competes with Arm China, particularly for engineers. Unlike most traditional microprocessor suppliers, such as Intel , Freescale (the former semiconductor division of Motorola , now NXP Semiconductors ) and Renesas (a former joint venture between Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric ), ARM only creates and licenses its technology as intellectual property (IP), rather than manufacturing and selling its own physical CPUs , GPUs, SoCs or microcontrollers. This model

Common applications for its products include: data center networking, home connectivity, broadband access, telecommunications equipment, smartphones, base stations, data center servers and storage, factory automation, power generation and alternative energy systems, displays, and mainframe operations and management, and application software development. Broadcom's core technologies and franchise products include networking devices, optical technologies, network interface controllers and data storage. Vendors have included Broadcom NICs in their products. For example, select Dell PowerEdge blade servers have Broadcom-powered Ethernet port adapters as an add-in card. Other vendors such as Apple , Hewlett Packard Enterprise , and Raspberry Pi also use Broadcom NICs. In April 2017, Google's Project Zero investigated Broadcom's SoC WiFi stack and found that it lacked "all basic exploit mitigations - including stack cookies, safe unlinking and access permission protection," allowing "full device takeover by Wi-Fi proximity alone, requiring no user interaction." Numerous smartphones, such as by Apple, Samsung and Google were affected. Jericho2

In 2016, Broadcom proposed merging with Brocade Communications Systems . The acquisition proposal included
2795-576: The failure of the Qualcomm bid led Broadcom and its CEO to look at acquiring infrastructure software as an alternative way of growing in size. On 11 July 2018, news sources reported that Broadcom and CA Technologies agreed on terms for an $ 18.9 billion acquisition. CA Technologies, formerly known as Computer Associates, was a longtime giant in software for mainframe computers that had expanded its offerings into software for cloud computing . And on 5 November 2018, Broadcom announced that it had completed
2860-424: The largest in the technology sector, received global regulatory scrutiny, including from China, which approved the deal with specific conditions.
