"Intel’s under enough jeopardy since they completely missed the boat on mobile devices."

Intel took the future immediately upon cash purchase of Altera for $16.7bil.

Intel took the future immediately upon cash purchase of Altera for $16.7bil.

Altera is in the FPGA market. That does not have much application to mobile phones. They appear to have a few offerings involving ARM processors, but I do not know why I would want to use ARM products distributed by Intel rather than ARM products distributed by Qualcomm, Nvidia (Tegra), Broadcom (RaspPi), Samsung, etc.
