Once the sale is complete, the Intel Foundation and Intel Capital will no longer hold any shares in Imagination Technologies, according to J.P. Morgan Securities. Intel had been a licensee of the British chipmaker's 3D technology.
Apple, however, remains a shareholder and a licensee of Imagination Technologies, having renewed its agreement
with the company a year ago. Terms of that deal were not announced, but
Imagination did say in February 2014 that the agreement spans multiple
years and covers a variety of uses.
In late 2008, Apple bought a 3.6 percent stake
in Imagination Technologies, and has since upped its share to nearly 10
percent. The company's powerful PowerVR Series 6 chips have powered
every Apple "iDevice" since the third-generation iPhone 3GS.
The latest-generation A8 processor found in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus boasts the PowerVR GX6450, a six-core
graphics processor that boasts a performance improvement of up to 84
times greater than the first iPhone released in 2007. And the A8X chip
found in the iPad Air 2 features even greater graphics performance, trouncing competing tablets on the market today.
