Toshiba in talks to buy Spansion -sources: reuters.com
That's about all the information in that article. Thanks to the messed up market a takeover and/or a blowout result are about the only options available to Spansion. I'll have to dig up specific synergies at another time. Tosh might be less far along with charge trap than Samsung is. Still it might not be beneficial for their joint interest in OneNAND (originating from Samsung) and LBA NAND (origination from Tosh). Tosh does have 3D SONOS in development for 32nm (ORNAND2 is SONOS based + Spansion has a great SONOS related IP portfolio). Well at least my slightly vague-ish reservations against Samsung buying Spansion might not have been off...
The above rumor is probably a driver for the upwards move yesterday, as well as a reason for Knobias' interest below:
