Altera acquisition makes good strategic sense but carries significant financial risk. ?

If Intel has a well developed portfolio of products to enhance with FPGA technology in security, networking and applications acceleration, then that risk can be managed. ?

If not, Intel will be plagued by the execution demons that have doomed other previous efforts.

Ultimately Intel needs to find a way to incorporate the FPGA functionality into their ASICs to remove the normal power and cost issues that small batch FPGA runs suffer from.

Altera acquisition makes sense only if Intel has a good roadmap plan for adding functionality to security, network and applications acceleration products. ?Otherwise they will be challenged to overcome the huge price premium.

Intel will only be successful if they can figure out how to move the increased functionality of the FPGA into their ASICs and remove the cost and power penalties. ?If they can execute to overcome those large hurdles - this will be a major win.
