| Two chip companies in $40 billion merger Two chip companies have surprised the world by agreeing to merge. While the tech press focused on Apple’s watch, and non-existent car, NXP Semiconductors, and Freescale Semiconductor hatched out a super-merger in comparative quiet. TechCrunch’s excuse for its hacks not spotting the mega-merger was because “no-one has heard of the two companies anyway.” In the interests of educating hacks – Freescale makes embedded chips, the Internet of Things, while NXP is best known for its chips headed for cars. http://channeleye.co.uk/two-chip-com...illion-merger/ |
