Good evening all, rather quiet on the horizon at the moment.

Interesting paradigm shift we seem to be seeing in the semiconductor industry over the last few months. Many acquisitions of late of smaller helper companies designed to ready production for new kinds of technologies, it seems. I wonder if those new kinds will measure up.

All I can offer you is...."not to confuse silence....with quiet".

The company actually doesn’t even have a shipping product yet, R Ray Wang, founder at Constellation Research told TechCrunch. “They haven’t even finished their prototype. This is an acqui-hire for next generation semi-conductor [technology]. Think networking at the chip level,” he said.
