Guide: Intel acquires Mcafee,zdnet Technology web blog Adrian Kingsley-hughes to analyze the deal. The original text reads as follows: Chip giant Intel spends 7.7 billion dollars to buy security software company McAfee ...　　Why? According to Market Research Institute MarketWatch, Intel will buy McAfee in cash at $48 a share, trading at a total price of nearly 7.7 billion dollars.　　The news comes as McAfee's shares rose 62% in Wednesday.　　The question here is, why did Intel buy McAfee? Good question. Perhaps Intel feels that the acquisition of a security company is profitable, or that after acquiring a security company, Intel can add security software directly to its processor.　　Or, Intel is just a cash-burn. The deal is not particularly surprising, as Intel has always had the money to carry out acquisitions. Intel's leading business is CPU and wireless devices, so the ability to add security software to these devices will make Intel a big advantage in the competition with AMD.　　Of course, Intel is absolutely ahead of AMD in all areas except graphics, even if it doesn't require external forces. The deal is awaiting approval from regulators and shareholders. Scatterers)
