1036 ET - Intel's consideration of a split-up could be overly time-consuming and complicated, Bank of America analysts say. WSJ reported that Broadcom and TSMC were eyeing separate deals that would break the U.S. chip maker in two. If Broadcom bought a part of Intel, the companies would likely face a lengthy regulatory approval process, the analysts say. Intel would beef up Broadcom's central processing capability, and has a strong brand name, something that has previously drawn Broadcom to buy other companies like LSI and Brocade. But Broadcom has about $58 billion in net debt, which puts the company at risk of over-investing in the ecosystem, the analysts say. Intel climbs 10%, Broadcom is off 2%.(katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
