Intel To Acquire eASIC: Lower Cost ASICs in FPGA Design Time [anandtech.com]

Intel is [...] announcing that it will acquire a company called eASIC which develops FPGA-like design tools to roll out 'structured ASICs'. These structured ASICs an intermediary between a full FPGA and a full ASIC that allow for a quick roll out time and cheaper production cost. Technically Intel has been using eASIC technology since at least 2015 in its custom Xeons, however today's announcement means that the eASIC team will become part of Intel's Programmable Solutions Group (PSG). The deal is expected to close within the next month.
