Nope.

They're just a large semiconductor company that sells chips you've never

>> "Atmel was known to be for sale" … really?

According to the WSJ the CEO is looking to retire.

And here's today's interesting factlet:

Jalal Bagherli, the CEO of Dialog, was the CEO of Alphamosaic before it was

started the Raspberry Pi project.
