Intel Corp. Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger said he has mixed feelings about the potential acquisition of software maker VMWare Inc. by Broadcom Inc.
“I’m sort of mixed on the current thinking,” Gelsinger said in an interview with Bloomberg TV in Davos, Switzerland, on Monday. “If it helps VMware be a more compelling, innovative growth story, then it’s good - if it does not, then it’s not good.”
