Would L138 be sold to Amazon?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

Hi,

Today there has been some news (news 1, news aggregation 2) rumoring that Amazon is going to buy TI’s OMAP business.

As a customer my concern is that would this acquisition, if turned out true, affect the supplying of OMAP L138 chip? Much of the news seem to say that what Amazon targets is the mobile processors like OMAP 4 and 5 and that TI’s strategy is to shift more focus onto embedded processors.

Although L138 belongs to OMAP family, it is more an embedded industrial processor than a “mobile” (for phone-like products) processor. So how would its fate be?

In addition, if sold to Amazon, would they keep TI’s commitment to supply bought OMAP processors for its entire life-cycle for possibly still several years to come?

    As part of a long-standing company policy, we do not comment on market rumors and speculation.  However, as stated recently, we are accelerating the expansion of OMAP processors into a broader set of embedded applications such as automotive, industrial, enterprise communication, vision and robotics, to grow the OMAP footprint beyond mobile.  This strategic focus for OMAP products includes continuing to sell OMAPL138 processors to the industrial market.  TI remains committed to the OMAP platform (including OMAP-L1 products) and our customers.
