Intel (INTC) is in late-stage discussions to buy AI chip startup SambaNova Systems for roughly $1.6 billion, including debt, Bloomberg News reported Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The potential deal could be reached as soon as next month, while the pricing, structure, and timing are still subject to change, the news outlet reported.
SambaNova has also reportedly signed term sheets with other potential financial backers and could choose a different route.
Intel Chief Executive Lip Bu Tan is chairman of SambaNova, the media outlet reported.
Intel and SambaNova Systems did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
