Given the revolutionary performance metrics of 4DS Memory in comparison to Micron and Intel's Optane Memory, one would assume an industry heavyweight would bust an acquisition.
The question arises: what might be the factors impeding an acquisition despite 4DS Memory's groundbreaking performance metrics at 60nm?
From the very beginning, it has been emphasised that a megabit chip is essential for the successful execution of a commercial transaction.
The President of imec has requested a meeting with the DM to discuss strategic plans. imecs plans may not necessarily align with the interests of shareholders who are expecting an acquisition following the development of the megabit chip.
imec's strategic plans may potentially extend the acquisition timeline by another 12 to 24 months, which could be disappointing for shareholders. DM will need to provide compelling reasons as to why an acquisition may not be feasible, especially after successfully achieving revolutionary results that exceed the requirements for storage class memory.
DM has alluded to the importance of smaller geometries. In such a scenario, imec might facilitate collaborative development work with a core program partner, possibly Intel, TSMC, Micron, Samsung, Western Digital, or similar entities. It's likely they'll not label it as "Platform 5," and choose a new development term that does not relate to the failures attributed to Platform 2 and 3.
With that being said, we'll have to rely on the upcoming joint announcement from 4DS and imec to provide us with a clear and comprehensive timeline that explains in detail the advantages of the new strategic plan and why an acquisition at this moment might not align with the best interests of shareholders.
