Intel CorporationIntel grants rare access to Atom processor technology, signaling a more flexible IP monetization approach and expanding processor reach.

Intel has provided startup RosaicLabs with access to parts of its Atom processor technology, an unusual step for a company that has historically kept tight control over its x86 architecture. Intel is expected to provide Rosaic with register-transfer level code for Atom processors, which are designed for lower-power computing and commonly suited for mobile and edge applications. The startup, led by venture investor and chip executive Amarjit Gill, filed its first incorporation documents in Delaware in May. Gill has previously worked with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan on other semiconductor ventures, and the personal and investment ties between the two could draw scrutiny as investors assess the strategic and governance implications of the deal. The move may signal a more flexible approach to monetizing Intel's intellectual property and expanding the reach of its processor technology.
