Sounds like Apple fucked over Imagination Technology by poaching their key employees and executives. Apple even opened a new office for chip development next to theirs.
The company was then doing poorly and got bought out by a Chinese company controlled by the Chinese government.
Pretty sad demise for the company. I remember working with their GPUs in the early 2010s.
They’re not dead. Not yet. I think the next 6 months will be interesting for them.
The current batch of stories seems to be coming from disclosures made during a tribunal case over the unfair dismissal of the CEO at the time. I’l think there’s a lot of pearl clutching going on in the reporting here. Their IP just isn’t on the same scale as companies like Nvidia and AMD so I don’t know how they could possibly be much dirty laundry here.
