Digital (DEC) selling family jewels to Intel ? Not directly related to SUNW but significant. I think it is still more rumor than news...but sad to see DEC do this...but maybe they are getting a good price for DEC investors ? infobeat.com DIGITAL EQPMT (48-1/16, up 3-5/16 @ 11:15am EDT) is in talks to sell its Alpha technology to INTEL (94-1/2, up 1-3/16 @ 11:15am EDT) for more than $1.5 billion, in a pact that would settle a patent fight, the Wall Street Journal said. A settlement involving Alpha would bring an end to the patent lawsuit in which Digital claimed Intel stole technology. Intel would be obligated to produce the Alpha chip for several years. However, Intel isn't required to put its marketing muscle behind computers that run on the chip. Digital wouldn't get rid of all its semiconductor operations, but Intel would buy "capacity" in Digital's chip facility in Hudson, MA. (Reuters 06:31 AM ET 10/06/97)
