- Monday, April 15, 9:45 AM Altera (ALTR) is buying AppliedMicro's (AMCC) Danish TPACK unit, a developer of Altera-based FPGAs for optical networking applications, for an undisclosed sum. Altera claims TPACK's chips have displaced ASSPs in applications that include 100G hardware (a key growth market), and will complement its existing optical offerings. Telecom & wireless made up 44% of Altera's Q4 sales, and (as always) the company remains in pitched battle here with archrival Xilinx (XLNX). AppliedMicro bought TPACK for $32M-$37M in 2010.

- Tuesday, March 19, 10:50 AM Lattice Semi (LSCC +7.5%) jumps after guiding for 6%-8% Q/Q revenue growth in Q1, well above prior guidance for a 2%-4% drop. Gross margin is expected to be at the low end of a prior guidance range of 52%-56% thanks to a greater mix of telecom and consumer chip sales. Bigger rivals Altera (ALTR +0.4%) and Xilinx (XLNX +1.5%) are up slightly. This morning, Xilinx introduced a new chip for its Zynq line of SoCs. By combining DSP and ARM CPU cores with Xilinx's programmable logic, Zynq expands Xilinx's reach within embedded markets. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
- Wednesday, March 6, 5:38 PM Xilinx's (XLNX) analyst day yielded favorable sell-side commentary. William Blair is a fan of Xilinx's light opex guidance, 60%+ share of 28nm FPGA sales, high base station design win rate, and the success of its 3D FPGAs and fully-programmable Zynq SoCs. Looking at the big picture, Raymond James sees plenty of room for the ~$6B FPGA market to take share from a ~$50B ASIC/ASSP market, as R&D/manufacturing costs for ASICs continue to grow. But Goldman is more partial to rival Altera (ALTR), citing its 40nm leadership and 14nm deal with Intel. (slides) Comment! [Tech, Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, February 26, 10:56 AM Intel's (INTC +2.7%) foundry deal with Altera (ALTR +1.7%) is enough to get Drexel Hamilton to upgrade "Chipzilla" to Hold, with a $22 PT. Meanwhile, existing Altera foundry partner TSMC (TSM -2.4%) is now adding to yesterday's losses. RBC thinks Intel, which has a manufacturing process edge against independent foundries, could win more clients at TSMC's expense. SA contributor Ashraf Eassa notes the Altera deal prevents Xilinx (XLNX -0.9%) from striking a similar foundry deal with Intel for its 14nm process. 4 Comments [Tech]
- Monday, February 25, 5:02 PM Intel (INTC) has bagged Altera (ALTR) as a chip foundry client. Altera, which has a near-duopoly on the FPGA market in tandem with Xilinx (XLNX), has hired Intel to make FPGAs using the latter's next-gen 14nm manufacturing process and 3D transistor tech. Altera says it will still rely on its existing foundry partner, TSMC (TSM), to make 20nm and older-process chips. The deal comes a month after reports Intel had struck a foundry deal with Cisco. ALTR +2.1% AH. XLNX -0.8%. INTC +0.5%. TSM +0.9% after falling 3.4% in regular trading. 18 Comments [Tech]

mr.lynch: ALTR traded @ $10 3 short years ago, anyone else feel this is a solid company ?

Ashraf Eassa
$ALTR fabbing at $INTC means that $XLNX will also need to move to $INTC to avoid getting left in the dust. - View all 13 replies

ephud: Goinidias - Altera must have paid quite a price for that exclusivity. -
Goinidias: Probably. I imagine intel doesn't want a price war, so putting them in position to charge a premium isn't bad for intel.
