Himax +8.3% amid chip stock rally, Intel/Luxottica deal

• Himax (NASDAQ:HIMX) is adding to yesterday's healthy gains as chip stocks rally in the wake of upbeat comments from Microchip (often viewed as an industry bellwether).
• Also possibly helping: Intel has announced a partnership with eyewear giant Luxottica to "fuse premium, luxury and sports eyewear with smart technology." Luxottica already has a Glass partnership with Google, and Intel was recently reported to be the processor supplier for the next version of Glass.
