Tore Svanberg

Okay. And the – and the last topic of course is SIMO, I know there's a limitation to what you can say, but at least give us an update on the asset strategically, you talked obviously about storage and data center, right? So I still believe this is an asset that that you're very interested in acquiring?

Kishore Seendripu

Look, we have some conviction what we do, and I don't think we touch anything where our core technology platform doesn't expand us into the adjacent markets, right? And storage is not an adjacent market. Our primary focus on storage as being the enterprise market and the data center market, and Silicon Motion is the number one merchant – controller, storage controller supply in the world. And, I don't look at controllers as storage. I look at [it] as data traffic. I look at [it] as how do you improve latency and speed of access and the amount of, the memory today, non-memory is monstrous, right? And, but the most important thing about the memory is, is if you look at the storage networks is that, speed of access of the data and integrity of the data and throughput, and now it's the excel.

It's going to spread all over the place as well. So you need to tightly couple the controllers with accelerators, right? And they all belong together and together we bring the portfolio to make it happen. The other part of it is that memory is no longer about moving bits around with controller, right? Talked about data integrity, so it's a lot of encryption technologies, the signal processing, I/O bandwidths, the mixed-signal IPs all common. So we'll get the, what they call the technology synergy and therefore the R&D synergy. We need to, for both the companies combined together. So we should be able to have synergies in the OpEx. We still are very, very what I call bullish, that we can acquire the synergies that we told you all about. And yes, the revenues of the combined companies have come down and, but it just delays the, what I call the benefits of the acquisition accordingly by a year or so. But the basic rationale has not changed at all. So I believe it's a very strategic asset for the company.
