Something to Digest - The PA Semi Acquisition

Listening to: The Garden Of Allah - Don Henley

RoughlyDrafted has an interesting retrospective on Apple’s in-house chip design history. The really interesting quote is right at the end (sorry to spoil the surprise):

“PA Semi isn’t a small acquisition, however much Apple’s trying to downplay it. The last company they spent hundreds of millions for was NeXT. At $275M, I don’t believe this is just about better parts for the phone. I think Steve’s got something bigger in mind, although we probably won’t see the results for three years or more.”
