Damn!

So what happens to the Raspberry Pi?

Edit: OK, following the discussion now. Nothing in the short term, potentially longer term.

The Raspberry Pi uses Broadcom, not Qualcomm chips. It also uses cores designed by Arm, which are not affected by today's news.

Yeah this is a total botch for me.

That is what I get for posting tired.

Broadcom (The makers of the chips used on the pi) did have a bid to acquire Qualcomm back in 2017 [0] but the bid was withdrawn after Trump blocked the deal.

So nothing will happen to the Pi (Arm also has a a minority stake in Raspberry Pi)
