Why Intel Is Buying Infineon (source: fastcompany)
|
| Aug 31, 2010 |
| Intel is about to fork over $1.4 billion for the wireless products division of Infineon--partly to screw Apple (which has been busy ignoring Intel in its iPhones and iPads), partly to cosy-up to its old mate Microsoft. It's a $1.4 billion deal due for completion in early 2011 (because there's likely to be a lot of regulatory concern about the deal and Intel's monopolistic past). Intel is acquiring only part of Infineon, its Wireless Solutions Business (dubbed WLS) and has been quick to stress--probably to appease the FTC even at this early stage--that WLS will continue to operate as a stand-alone business, and "Intel is committed to serving WLS' existing customers, including support for ARM-based platforms." |
