Inside the Apple/PA Semi Deal: Micro and Macro Perspectives

Good speculative article. Speculation is growing around a "gaming platform". Apple's introduction of a gaming platform similar to Nintendo would do wonders for the company and its lineup of products. I would bet on this aspect of the purchase.

Apple’s Dramatic Risks and Ambitions

I commented earlier on another article about apple on this site. I do not think the writers at seeking alpha understand that the chip made by PA is not suitable for iphone application. Currently, the chip is high power consumption and may not be ready for iphone before a couple of years. The chip is dual core lightning speed cutting edge product. What we understand this chip is more suitable for handheld gaming gadgets that demand high processing power. Suggestions indicate Apple may be in the process of a "gaming" handheld device maker acquisition where this chip is ideally suited. ~A handheld gaming device would complete Apple's product line....!!!!

Apple / P.A. Semi Deal May Hit Defense-Work Snag

The chip is dual core super fast ideal for handheld gaming gadgets. What is missing from apple's lineup to close the loop of being the super power in media, etc. ? Does Nintendo sound familiar?

Apple / P.A. Semi Deal May Hit Defense-Work Snag

your information is completely WRONG. The chip is high power consumption!!!! In its present form it is not ideally suitable for iphone application. However, apple disclosed that modifications are possible but may not be used in iphone before a couple of years. The purchase of P.A semi is obviously for other purposes that apple is not disclosing..... have you thought about a gaming acquistion that is in the works for apple where this chip could be of use? Think about it.....!
