McAfee + Intel

Interesting that the deal occurred with Intel and Mcafee, that took everyone by surprise (source: theregister)… so tell me… does it mean that Mcafee will be more optimized and lightweight and use clever Intel undocumented tricks to become more stealthier on the face of cyber-terrorism threats….?

Intel has bought information security specialist McAfee in a surprise deal valued at $7.68bn.

The chip maker has offered $48 a share in cash for the anti-virus firm, a 62 per cent premium of McAfee’s Wednesday closing price of $29.93 a share. Shares in McAfee leapt 58 per cent on the news while Intel’s stock dipped.

Intel stock dipped is not surprising considering the multi-billion dollar deal with McAfee… so…

Will end users be seeing variants of Mcafee packages highly optimized, of course, for different chipsets… such as Intel/McAfee Atom Internet Security, Intel/McAfee Dual Core 2 Internet Security…. it goes on…

Interesting times ahead….
