The battle between Xilinx and Altera continues to be one of the more interesting stories to cover. It really is the semiconductor version of a reality TV show. In the beginning it was two fabless companies partnered with rival foundries going head-to-head controlling a single market that touches a variety of industries.
Then things got interesting when Xilinx left UMC to share TSMC with Altera taking the foundry differences out of the equation. Next Altera left TSMC for Intel? Say what!?!?! Then Altera did a head fake back to TSMC and Intel bought them for a 56% premium! Now that process differences are back in the equation let’s take another look.
