Intel has had a miserable track record with networking hardware/software, in the past losing billions in acq costs and lost IP (remember Level One?). Perhaps they have learned their lesson and can expand again.

I think their track record is a bit more mixed than that. Their external, consumer/business facing, networking products didn't do so well, but think about Centrino and integrated Wi-Fi -- really changed laptop landscape (for a little while anyway).

This is the rational step forward.

Also may hurt LSI's storage controller business as well; hope there's room for both.

I wonder if Intel would outright buy LSI at this point, given the level of integration that is going to be needed in datacenter solutions.

Good point. RAID controller card makers might also have something to lose.

Intel has lost the luster .. their products are non innovative and the PC collapse is hastening their demise.. If Intel hopes to innovate, they better buy MLNX

"Lost their luster and non-innovative"...???.... as far as CPUs go, leading the industry in die-shrink, and Tri-Gate? IIRC, competitors at this level can no longer 'backward engineer' or duplicate what Intel is doing at 22nm and below. Non-innovative indeed......This is the 'moat' even the Chinese can't get across or copy.

Thanks Sam... once again .. not surprised.. Intel is a old, tired elephant that needs to be ignored!

CPU's are like talking about 8 track. Intel stock, is moribund, and has a history of not being able to deliver .. Perhaps your worldview of PC's is still thought to be kool, we obviously have differing views on investment...Biotech, is where I make a lot of money, and MLNX has a product that is faster, market dominant and is backed by creative young Israeli engineers who have delivered technologically, but failed in providing insight into channel sales.. Suffice to say, Intel is an elephant... that was caught yet again sleeping in the mid day sun!
