good for INTC - do your own study of RISC-V ecosystem and SiFive. Other RISC-V companies, most in Asia, are less a ho-e for the $).
Yes, some RISC-V pioneers started SiFive.
SiFive give no damn fu-k about Intel they know they worth 10b
This acquisition never made any sense.
Intel is the master of sh1ty capital allocation.
The fact that this isn’t going through is probably just d-mb luck that will save Intel a bunch of money.
Maybe the Intel BoD would not give green light approval for this.. which seems to be a sound decision.
It was Sunil Shenoy's idea to buy so he can benefit from his big stake in SiFive stock. Good intel getting out otherwise it would be another $1.5B wasted. It is open source architecture and how intel would benefit? There was no way intel make money buying SiFive.
maybe Intel should offer more but they are massive spending
That’s good news for SiFive as intel ruins every company they acquire.
