Re: Intel will now look at ARM
Intel used to have a big ARM range (obtained from DEC), they still have one ARM comms processor I think, the rest sold to Marvell.
There is no reason for Intel or anyone else to buy ARM, they are not a chip maker.
Intel, I think, still has a full ARM licence, Their biggest strengths are in marketing and Chip Manufacturing.
Perhaps Intel may make ARM chips again more generally, they seem though have a "Not invented here" ego issue as Intel processed and Intel Peripherals on SoC Arm makes far more sense than their vast expenditure in Mobile Sector, making them less x86 sales every year.
