    U.S. chipmaker Intel Corp has bid $5.5-$6 billion in cash and stock to buy Israel’s Mellanox Technologies, Israeli media reported on Wednesday.

    A $6 billion offer would represent a 35 percent premium to the last closing price of Mellanox on Nasdaq, the Calcalist financial news website said.

    Based in Yokneam, Israel, Mellanox makes chips and other hardware for data center servers that power cloud computing.

    Officials at Intel and Mellanox declined to comment.

    In October CNBC reported that Mellanox has hired a financial adviser to explore a sale after receiving takeover interest from at least two companies.

    You can't stop Capitalism nature.

    Mellanox is very strong in 10Gbe adapters and Infiniband adapters.
