AMD and Xilinx Stockholders Approve AMDs Acquisition of Xilinx

AMD and Xilinx Stockholders Approve AMDs Acquisition of Xilinx

The acquisition will bring together two industry leaders with complementary product portfolios and customers, combining CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, Adaptive SoCs and deep software expertise to enable leadership in computing platforms for cloud, edge and end devices. 

Together, the combined company will have the ability to capitalize on opportunities spanning some of the industry's most important growth segments, including data centers, gaming, PCs, communications, automotive, industrial, aerospace and defense. "For several years, AMD has successfully executed our long-term growth strategy and deepened the company's partnerships to drive high performance computing leadership," said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD president and CEO. "The acquisition of Xilinx marks the next leg in our journey to make AMD the strategic partner of choice for the largest and most important technology companies in the world as an industry leader with the vision, talent and scale to support their future innovation."

"The Xilinx team is one of the strongest in the industry and we are thrilled to be joining AMD," said Victor Peng, Xilinx president and CEO. "Our shared cultures of innovation, excellence and collaboration will enable us to accelerate growth in the data center and pursue a broader customer base across more markets as a combined company." The closing of the transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. The companies continue to expect that the transaction will be completed by the end of the 2021.

Made good 100% on their stock as they announced new AI product few years back.
I hope their talent will not be wasted and AMD integrates them successfully.

I think this will be a wonderful enhancement for both AMD and Xilinx. Especially AMD.

I see this as a win-win. AMD is too far behind to get invested in AI or FPGAs by themselves, and Xilinx meanwhile can't fight the other giants alone. It's also in AMD's interest to expand their product lineup, so whenever a Bulldozer is pulled, the whole company doesn't collapse as a result.

Does get me to think how interesting it would be should AMD have an integrated FPGA in their CPUs. So maybe most of the package is a FPGA that emulates neural plasticity, and then you have some x86 cores to basically oversee the FPGA's progress, along with hosting the OS or man-made software. Could be a literal AI.

This is exciting stuff, I can't wait to see how AMD innovates with FPGA. Such innovations will be necessary when you have powerful competitors like Apple with its M1 cpu, Nvidia with their acquisition of ARM and oh yeah... Intel with all its money and a new less useless CEO.
