China's market regulator has conditionally approved semiconductor group Advanced Micro Devices Inc's $35 billion all-stock deal for peer Xilinx , it said on Thursday.
A big upside here for AMD is the Xilinx foundry team. Back in the Xilinx vs Altera days, which I thoroughly enjoyed, Xilinx routinely beat Altera to Silicon after switching to TSMC at 28nm. The Xilinx silicon implementation team is excellent and AMD will benefit greatly from it, absolutely.
