Intel buys McAfee... how much!!!
he world's biggest chip maker, Intel, has agreed to buy the security technology firm, McAfee.
Intel will pay $7.68bn (£5bn) in cash. Under the terms of the deal, Intel said it would pay $48 per share in cash for McAfee, almost 60% higher than its closing price on Wednesday. Through buying McAfee, a leading security technology firm, Intel intends to build security features into its microprocessors which go into products such as laptops and phones. BBC News - Intel in $7.68bn McAfee takeover So intel pays 60% more than the share value is worth???  Is it me....

I can't say too much.. as I am still on the payroll but.... there is a very good reason why they have done this and if you look at the previous software company they bought it underpins a serious chunk of the market they are going after.
The person that signed the deal has been given multi billions to throw about and she very rarely gets it wrong.

Will watch this one with interest chaps! We're a McAfee house and are interested to understand what Intel's plans are for the business, especially as they paid so much over the odds for it.
