Intel announced Monday its acquisition of Israeli quantum computing company Classiq for $2.3 billion. The deal, which includes declarations of a technological revolution, brings Intel face-to-face with its dismal track record of billions spent over the past two decades on unfulfilled promises.
The acquisition is notable due to Classiq's field of quantum computing. However, Intel has a history of acquisitions that, while initially intriguing, ultimately failed to alter the company's future. The question remains whether Intel, under CEO Lip-Bu Tan, has changed its DNA and can finally break the pattern of failed purchases.
