Intel acquisition back into the headlines: mystery company wants to buy the chipmaker
A mystery company is reportedly talking to Intel about acquiring the chipmaker says new rumor, sends Intel shares up around 8% in the last 24 hours.
The discussion around Intel’s roadmap makes me wonder how much of their execution hinges on silicon wafer processes keeping pace with expectations. Delays or unexpected issues in these processes could mean setbacks in their plans, even if the architectural designs are solid. I get why people are skeptical given past slips, but if Intel nails the combination of design and manufacturing, they could regain a strong position.
