Intel sells optical communications

I did want to say I told you so. Intel just sold their Optical Networking business to Cortina. Yet another piece of garbage bought by Barrett. I believe Intel will continue to look at businesses they can hive off. IMHO the flash and motherboard businesses should be prime candidates. Or at the least hand the flash business over to the Micron JV and get out of low end motherboards.

Hmm i dont think Intel will want to get rid of motherboards. As far as i know Motherboards division is a money maker;).
Yust look how hard Intel makes it for alternative motherboards maker to enter there(Hint Via, sis, etc;)
