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）技術領先提供商Altera公司的收購。此次收購完善了英特爾具有領先優勢的產品組合，并為高速增長的數據中心以及物聯網細分市場提供了新類別的產品。

“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.”

英特爾首席執行官Brian Krzanich表示：“Altera現在是英特爾的一部分，我們將共同努力使下一代半導體產品更好、功能更強大。我們將利用摩爾定律來拓展現在的FPGA業務，并將創造新產品，讓未來的非凡體驗成為可能——比如自動駕駛和機器學習。”

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新業務部門進行運營，名為可編程解決方案事業部（PSG），由Altera公司的Dan McNamara領導。英特爾將確保Altera客戶的順利過渡，并為Altera的未來諸多產品開發繼續提供支持，包括FPGA、基于ARM的SoC以及電源產品。除了加強現有的FPGA業務，可編程解決方案事業部還將與英特爾數據中心事業部和物聯網事業部密切合作，推出下一代高度自定義集成產品和解決方案。

“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部總經理McNamara 表示：“作為英特爾的一部分，我們將創造市場領先的可編程邏輯設備，提供比目前客戶所應用到的更廣性能。Altera業界領先的FPGA技術和客戶支持與英特爾世界一流的半導體制造能力相結合，將使客戶得以創建下一代擁有卓越性能和功效的電子系統。”

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.

英特爾預計，在交易結束后的第一年，此次并購將提高公司的非GAAP每股盈利和自由現金流，符合之前的預期。英特爾預計，由于收購相關的成本，此次收購在交易結束后的第一年將稀釋GAAP每股盈利。
