, fool.com reported today in April, a well-known American market commentator Jim Cramer (Jim Cramer) issued such a view: Intel shall be split into, the rapid growth of business, such as data center business group, the Internet of things, and a storage device into a company; The relatively slow growth in the PC business into another company.
However, this view has no practical significance, and here's why: kramer puts it this way a spin-off is a fundamental problem, namely the so-called "high growth" business relies on the developed technology for PC department.
Most of the time to see, according to kramer spin-off, Intel for a $30 billion and nearly 30 billion PC market development on the basis of technology, will be as the cornerstone of its server chip business. Intel Internet enterprise group of chips sold by most developed product by the personal computer market, of course, the Internet enterprise group also sell some server level chip.
If Intel should be split into two companies, research and development spending would be double, and that the shareholders of the so-called "rapid growth" Intel and the slow growth, "the values held by the Intel.
Generally, Intel's independent production chips belong to the competitive advantage. However, if you want a sustainable corporate production chips become meaningful, it needs to make the best use of its capacity.
However, Intel's PC business is its data center operations. In fact, in the immediate term, Intel's data center and the Internet of things both business group is difficult to fully maintain a sophisticated operation of the plant.
According to this situation, therefore, can be concluded that Intel if split into two companies, two of the company's profits will be lower than the current this one.
On June 26, according to the financial times reported that the chipmaker Intel is considering selling its network security business. According to the report, Intel has been linked to its bankers to discuss how to deal with its network security department, the department is Intel's $7.7 billion purchase of McAfee in 2011.
An Intel spokesman was not immediately comment on the matter.
It is understood that Intel had said in April that it plans to cut 12000 jobs worldwide, it will focus weight to the microchip manufacturing shut up.
