Marvell, which you guys know from SSD controllers, is in advanced talks to combine with Cavium Inc., according to people familiar with the matter, a deal that would create a chip maker worth some $14 billion.
Marvell fabs chips for hard disks, SDDs, printers and automotive. Cavium, uses ARM and MIPS chips to fab switches, routers and security devices. A deal could be announced in the next few weeks assuming the talks don’t fall apart. The Marvell-Cavium merger follows another high-profile chipmaker deal also reported on Friday. Broadcom is planning to make a huge, unsolicited bid for chipmaker Qualcomm.
