"Just 2B it's cheap" still doesn't answer my question.

Look, let me d-mb this question down.

Let's say that there's something worth $5 but somebody want to buy it for $20.

I ask "why pay $20 when it's worth 5 bucks??"

You say "oh 20 bucks is nothing, that's cheap"........ uhm that's not a real answer.

Could someone capable of giving me an actual answer give one? Thanks!

@ziw+1blxlaKh hopefully not an expensive acqui-hire that leaves after 2 years

It'd be nice if he even last as long as Keller did

2B is for the company and acquire Chris Lattner, former boss of Jim Keller

This will be similar to other failed acquisitions that Intel did in the past , such as Nervana
