From a consolidation aspect absolutely, but from an IP aspect it would be indifferent. You're most likely using Broadcom designed chips already if you're using any 4G and above cell phone.

What do you mean by that?
VMWare has legitimately been ill managed for years now, and absolutely needed the chainsaw treatment. They had too many SKUs and their AEs gave ridiculously discounted quotes to make quota.
There's a reason Apple uses Broadcom for cellular modems.
