Freescale Semiconductor Inc. (NYSE: FSL) is on the block for more than $16 billion, according to The New York Times. The report says that an initial bid came from a consortium that includes The Blackstone Group, Permira, Texas Pacific Group, Carlyle Group and Bain Capital. Then a second, higher, bid came from KKR and Silver Lake Partners, which could try merging Freescale with Philips Electronics’ semiconductor unit. freescale.com
