Will be merged into R&D. Keep working on server chips. Wonder how to get 1b dollars target?

We know how the acquired FSL folks won the battle and now you want to repeat the same with Qualcomm by taking over the company.
New quote

NXP will not survive inside of Q
Initially you will be welcomed. Then after a period the toxic environment inside of Q will spread. The SD crowd will start their politics, the mission grabs, the non-cooperation, and undermining. Upper mgt will do nothing to stop it because in... — read more
