Intel is gearing up for the biggest acquisition in its history – Virtual Poland

  Editor Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, said that Intel is in talks about taking over from Altera. Companies for which the processor manufacturer will have to pay approx. $ 13 billion. Why so much?
 

 Altera is one of the two largest producers of FPGA, or field programmable gate arrays used in telecommunications networks, automotive, production lines, and the like. Altera is working with Intel since 2013 – when it signed an agreement under which Intel has released Alterze know-how in the form of documentation of their very advanced production processes.
 

 Altera prospect acquisition by Intel for the time being all like: the share price of both companies became more expensive (Intel 6 percent., Altera’s 28 percent.), Analysts suggest that Altera does not have its own factories, so through the use of Intel’s infrastructure production cost FPGA could be further reduced. Until that Intel would have to pay even if a gigantic amount of $ 13 billion, would gain very fast growing company. Last year, Altera reported a 12-percent increase in revenues (1.93 billion dollars), as well shows how quickly the market develops FPGA. With the new technology, of course.
