DCompute target: Intel to Introduce New CPU-FPGA Hybrid Chip Supported by Acceleration Stack

[Ola Fosheim Grøstad]

But I also get this feeling that Intel do this as an 
anti-competitive monopolistic. Basically preventing ARM and AMD 
from partnering with Altera. So it could be more hostile than 
friendly…

The buy up might not make sense business wise in terms of new 
products. But it could make a lot of sense to keep other 
competing products off the table to keep the pricing of Xeons up… 
A pessimistic view, perhaps… but Intel has a history…
