For the reason’s posted under “Intel Plus Altera
What Would it Mean?” … Intel simply doesn’t need Altera, or Xilinx IP.

Everything that is important they will need to engineer themselves anyway, and that isn’t very much. A co-processor FPGA fabric is a very very different beast than today’s Altera and Xilinx FPGA’s.

Done right, and Intel will redefine computing … and implemented from XEON’s to Atom SOC offerings, so that Xilinx and Altera will spend the next decade playing catchup. Game over.

And with it, new important boundaries for both Amdahl’s Law, and Moore’s Law.

Spectral and Color Sensors
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and ams OSRAM
There has been quite a bit of advancement in the world of spectrometers of the last several years. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Jim Archibald from ams OSRAM investigate how multispectral sensing solutions are driving innovation in a variety of different fields. They also explore the functions involved with multispectral sensing, the details of ams OSRAM’s AS7343 spectral sensor, and why smoke detection is a great application for this kind of multispectral sensing.
