UK Competition Regulator Probes AMD's Buyout of Xilinx

British competition regulator Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on Monday, launched an enquiry into the ramifications of AMD's buy-out of FPGA maker Xilinx. The agency is soliciting opinions from the public on whether the $35 billion all-stock purchase will make goods and services less competitive for the UK. Unlike NVIDIA's Arm buyout the Xilinx acquisition is seeing no opposition from tech-giants. The Register notes that AMD could combine Xilinx's FPGAs with its x86 CPU and RDNA SIMD to create highly customizable HPC accelerators. AMD president Dr Lisa Su said "By combining our world-class engineering team and deep domain expertise, we will create an industry leader with the vision, talent and scale to define the future of high performance computing."

1d10tI thought British only drink tea, eat crumpet and reading harry potter all day.
Ever heard of that game which last 5 days, 6 for an upcoming championship, or unlimited number of days depending on when 4 innings end like way back in the past! Currently they're third or fourth best in that form of the game, yes there are 3 major forms, & a sport which is generally regarded ~ in this part of the world at least, as the best of them all.

The point being they have an awful lot of time for such games/sports :D
