Intel Completes Acquisition of Altera
英特爾完成對Altera的收購

Dec. 28, 2015 – Intel Corporation today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Altera Corporation, a leading provider of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. The acquisition complements Intel’s leading-edge product portfolio and enables new classes of products in the high-growth data center and Internet of Things (IoT) market segments.

2015年12月28日——英特爾公司今天宣布已完成對FPGA（可編程邏輯陣列）技術(shù)領(lǐng)先提供商Altera公司的收購。此次收購?fù)晟屏擞⑻貭柧哂蓄I(lǐng)先優(yōu)勢的產(chǎn)品組合，并為高速增長的數(shù)據(jù)中心以及物聯(lián)網(wǎng)細(xì)分市場提供了新類別的產(chǎn)品。

“Altera is now part of Intel, and together we will make the next generation of semiconductors not only better but able to do more,” said Brian Krzanich, Intel CEO. “We will apply Moore’s Law to grow today’s FPGA business, and we’ll invent new products that make amazing experiences of the future possible – experiences like autonomous driving and machine learning.”

英特爾首席執(zhí)行官Brian Krzanich表示：“Altera現(xiàn)在是英特爾的一部分，我們將共同努力使下一代半導(dǎo)體產(chǎn)品更好、功能更強(qiáng)大。我們將利用摩爾定律來拓展現(xiàn)在的FPGA業(yè)務(wù)，并將創(chuàng)造新產(chǎn)品，讓未來的非凡體驗(yàn)成為可能——比如自動駕駛和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)。”

Altera will operate as a new Intel business unit called the Programmable Solutions Group (PSG), led by Altera veteran Dan McNamara. Intel is committed to a smooth transition for Altera customers and will continue the support and future product development of Altera’s many products, including FPGA, ARM®-based SoC and power products. In addition to strengthening the existing FPGA business, PSG will work closely with Intel’s Data Center Group and IoT Group to deliver the next generation of highly customized, integrated products and solutions.

Altera將作為英特爾的一個(gè)新業(yè)務(wù)部門進(jìn)行運(yùn)營，名為可編程解決方案事業(yè)部（PSG），由Altera公司的Dan McNamara領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。英特爾將確保Altera客戶的順利過渡，并為Altera的未來諸多產(chǎn)品開發(fā)繼續(xù)提供支持，包括FPGA、基于ARM的SoC以及電源產(chǎn)品。除了加強(qiáng)現(xiàn)有的FPGA業(yè)務(wù)，可編程解決方案事業(yè)部還將與英特爾數(shù)據(jù)中心事業(yè)部和物聯(lián)網(wǎng)事業(yè)部密切合作，推出下一代高度自定義集成產(chǎn)品和解決方案。

“As part of Intel, we will create market-leading programmable logic devices that deliver a wider range of capabilities than customers experience today,” said McNamara, corporate vice president and general manager of the Programmable Solutions Group at Intel. “Combining Altera’s industry-leading FPGA technology and customer support with Intel’s world-class semiconductor manufacturing capabilities will enable customers to create the next generation of electronic systems with unmatched performance and power efficiency.”

英特爾副總裁兼可編程解決方案事業(yè)部總經(jīng)理McNamara 表示：“作為英特爾的一部分，我們將創(chuàng)造市場領(lǐng)先的可編程邏輯設(shè)備，提供比目前客戶所應(yīng)用到的更廣性能。Altera業(yè)界領(lǐng)先的FPGA技術(shù)和客戶支持與英特爾世界一流的半導(dǎo)體制造能力相結(jié)合，將使客戶得以創(chuàng)建下一代擁有卓越性能和功效的電子系統(tǒng)。”

Intel expects the acquisition to be accretive to non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow in the first full year after close, consistent with prior guidance. Intel expects the acquisition to be dilutive to GAAP EPS in the first full year after close primarily due to acquisition-related costs.

英特爾預(yù)計(jì)，在交易結(jié)束后的第一年，此次并購將提高公司的非GAAP每股盈利和自由現(xiàn)金流，符合之前的預(yù)期。英特爾預(yù)計(jì)，由于收購相關(guān)的成本，此次收購在交易結(jié)束后的第一年將稀釋GAAP每股盈利。
