    US$5 says Apple buys them out, or at least tries. And then doesn't lower the price of their iPhones using it.

      Under 200 bucks phones have SnapDragon820. Two strong six instruction cores, two small two instruction cores and 500GFlops graphics. Also the same company has announce x86 emulation. I don't think there is room for anyone else at this point.

          Imagination Technologies is one of those backwards companies that can't keep up with the times.
          They don't get open source.
          Better license Adreno from Qualcomm or Mali from ARM Holdings.
          PowerVR is too proprietary.

                Couldn't a non-profit/governmental org/wealthy uni. buy them, or some of their tech? I would, but the sellout price is definitely going to be more than a hundred bucks

                But since their products aren't open source-friendly, I couldn't care less (though it would be nice if a buyer were to open them up).

                  If only they had used their imagination...

                    Except for Imagination's patents, that is. I don't know what patents they have, but there must be something in there that Apple could use (either now or in the future).
