McAfee - Why?
Havok - Why?
Infineon Technologies - .............
Altera - Make Sense but not proving anything ( yet )
Mobileye - Make Sense but they needed to prove they can complete under Intel ( They were doing fine before being acquired )
SSD Contoller - For a specific range of uses ( QD1 )in DC, otherwise no longer competitive.
Baseband Modem, 7 years since acquiring Infineon, their modem is still fabbed on TSMC!
They could have worked with Apple on Fabbing their SoC, they had the past 3 - 4 years to decide and make the move. Now Apple is pretty much all the way with TSMC till 2019.
Where is Knight Corner / Landing / Hill? May be they are on the market somewhere, but is Nvidia out numbering them 20:1? Or even more?
May be they will milk the x86 for Desktop and Server for as long as they could. But Zen is coming, they have no growth area, what's next?
Instead it was burnt on a company in dying industry selling bad products.
P.S - Sorry lots of spelling mistake in the original post.
Take a look at the Top500 list of computers [0]. Of the top 10, 3 have Xeon Phi coprocessors (aka Knights Corner/Landing, Knights Hill hasn't been released, nor has any 10nm Intel processor), 2 have Nvidia coprocessors.
This is in part because of Physics getting in the way. Moores law is dying, because the Physics of shrinking transistors further is getting harder and harder
