Intel Writes It Off
2006-06-27
Intel has sold a part of its communications processor business to Marvell for $600m, admitting that it made a large error when it bought the businesses for $3b to $5b.
The thing is, and Intel may now realize this, is that it's not about the chips. It's about the software. Anything that increases time to market (writing or porting mode code for instance) has got to buy its purchaser a very significant advantage in the market; and Intel's chips could not overcome this barrier.
XScale is rumored to be on the chopping block as well.
