‎Qualcomm acquires automotive technology company Veoneer for US$4.5 billion

‎For this deal, the chipset manufacturer managed to surpass Magna International. In July of this year, Veoneer had agreed to sell itself to Magna in an offer worth $31.25 per share, but Qualcomm submitted its offer for $800 million, or about 18% more. ‎

‎A Qualcomm, together with an investment firm SSW Partners, has agreed to buy Veoneer, a Swedish technology company ‎‎automobile‎‎ in a cash deal worth about $4.5 billion, as the company is paying $37 per share.‎

‎For this agreement, the manufacturer of chipsets managed to surpass the Magna International. In July of this year, Veoneer had agreed to sell to Magna

in an offer worth US$31.25 per share, but at Qualcomm submitted its offer for US$800 million, or about 18% more.‎

‎AMagna, with a capitalization of market of $25.3 billion compared to $164.8 billion for Qualcomm, did not even submit a counterproposal. The Veoneer will pay the Magna a “split fee” of $110 million. The deal is expected to close next year.‎

‎SSW Partners said it would sell Arriver technology from Veoneer

, which is an advanced driver assistance system stack that includes sensors and ‎‎software,‎ ‎for the Qualcomm and that it would maintain other business from the Swedish company’s Level 1 suppliers.‎

‎This is not the first major acquisition for Qualcomm

this year. In January, ‎‎a‎‎ Qualcomm agreed to acquire the high-performance computing startup Nuvia for $1.4 billion to establish itself in markets beyond telecommunications.‎

‎A Qualcomm, which is known for making ‘chipsets’ for smartphones, is looking for new avenues to profit beyond mobile-related chips . With the advancement of automotive technology and increasing demand, this seems to be the main target of the company.‎

‎It already supplies chips that power communication and infotainment systems in cars and now intends to expand its reach in driver assistance technology. Last year, Qualcomm has partnered with Veoneer to form Arriver and began developing driving technology aimed at hitting the road in 2024.‎

下月發佈的 MacBook Pro,除了換上 M2 之外什麼都不會改

有外媒給出消息稱,他們與 Apple 供應鏈有密切聯繫的可靠消息來源稱, Apple 將於下月在更新的13吋 MacBook Pro 機型中首次推出其最新的 M2 Apple Silicon處理器,稍遺憾的是該機型的機殼將沒有重大的設計變化。並且即將推出的13吋 MacBook Pro 也將保留了與當前版本相同的設計,包括 Touch Bar,但與 14吋和16吋 MacBook Pro 機型不同,它不會有劉海或 ProMotion 屏幕,與一些傳言相反。如果是這樣,這意味著新的入門級MacBook Pro機型的最大差異將僅僅是新的 M2 處理器,M2 處理器的 CPU 核心數量將會和 M1 處理器相同,最多 10個 GPU 核心,性能也有所提高。以上資料的洩密者就是由去年最初透露 MacBook Pro 包含劉海的來源,所以可信性大大增加。有趣的是不久前一份 DigiTimes 的報告中就指出 Apple 將在春季發布會上推出其 M2 處理器的 MacBook Pro,而現在最新的消息也印證了此次 Apple 將要發布的這款 13吋 MacBook Pro 完全一致。此外 DigiTimes 的供應鏈消息來源還透露,除處理器外,新MacBook Pro基本沒什麼變化,所使用的大多數其他部件的規格與採用M1處理器的現有機型幾乎相同,而這一說法也逐漸證實了最新的傳言。彭博社記者 Mark Gurman…
