Broadcom made an unexpected and unsolicited bid to acquire Qualcomm a couple of months ago for over $100 billion but its initial bid was rejected by the chipmaker. A revised bid was later submitted and was also rejected by Qualcomm. There has been a lot of back and forth between the two companies since then and while the door still remains open to a deal, a new report claims that Intel is now considering a bid for Broadcom, the company that’s trying to buy Qualcomm.
Citing people familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Intel is considering multiple options including an acquisition bid for Broadcom. However, the report does mention that it’s not guaranteed that such an offer is going to be made with one source even predicting that it’s going to be unlikely.
One can understand why Intel might be considering this step. Even though it has been one of the largest semiconductor companies on the planet for decades, Intel doesn’t really have a presence in the smartphone SoC market. If Broadcom’s acquisition of Qualcomm works out, the combined entity would become a much larger competitor for Intel for components other than smartphone processors, such as cellular radios.
So it would be in Intel’s interests if Broadcom’s acquisition bid for Qualcomm falls through and the company might not make a move for the former then but if it goes the other way, then Intel’s reportedly open to the option of acquiring Broadcom.

LG V30 owners on Verizon can rejoice as they will finally be able to get a taste of Oreo. The country’s largest mobile carrier has started rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo for the LG V30 on its network. The update is now being rolled out over-the-air and will soon go live for users in all regions across the country.
Verizon has started rolling out software version VS99620a for the LG V30 on its network. Multiple reports have confirmed that it’s version Android 8.0 Oreo. Since this is a major Android platform update the file size is quite large at 1.7GB so users will certainly want to connect their device to a good Wi-Fi network before they download the update.
The update brings all of the new features that are part and parcel of Android 8.0 Oreo. Users should also expect to see some user interface improvements as well. As previously mentioned, since the update is being rolled out over-the-air, it might take a few days for it to go live for all users.
At least LG V30 owners on Verizon can now rest assured that it’s only a matter of time before they’re able to get a taste of Oreo on their handsets. The carrier will eventually release the update for other compatible LG handsets as well down the road.

There has been a lot of speculation about the 2018 Call of Duty title and Activision finally ended speculation earlier this week by confirming that this year’s title will be Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is now in development and that the title is going to be released later this year. The game is being developed by Treyarch, the very same studio that was behind previous Black Ops titles as well.
Activision hasn’t revealed a lot of details about Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at this point in time. It has only confirmed that the game will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It hasn’t said if there’s going to be a version for the Nintendo Switch despite reports to the contrary.
More information about the game will be revealed at an event on May 17th where Activision will properly reveal the title. It’s unlikely that it will offer any further details about the game until then.
Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is going to be released on Friday, October 12th, 2018. That’s about a month earlier than the early November release window that’s traditionally used for new Call of Duty titles. Not that this is something that fans of the series will be complaining about.
