Last week at the Intel 2022 Investor Meeting, company leaders
reiterated our commitment to foster an open ecosystem that ensures
trust, choice and interoperability for our industry. Today, in a
furtherance of that commitment, we are excited to announce Intel's
acquisition of Linutronix.

Linutronix is comprised of a team of highly qualified and motivated
employees with a wealth of experience and involvement in the ongoing
development of Linux. Led by CEO Heinz Egger and CTO Thomas Gleixner,
Linutronix is the architect of PREEMPT_RT (Real Time) and the leading
technology provider for industrial Linux. Gleixner has been the
principal maintainer of x86 architecture in the Linux kernel since
2008.

This acquisition reflects Intel's commitment to supporting the Linux
kernel and the Linux community more broadly.

Software is a growth sector for Intel, and we believe a successful
software ecosystem needs to be open to thrive. Being open is the
foundation upon which we can enable choice for our partners and
foster trust. Linutronix shares this belief and Intel's deep
commitment to advancing the Linux open source ecosystem.

By acquiring Linutronix, we are deepening our long-standing
relationship with a highly respected team of globally recognized
Linux experts, adding to the remarkable breadth and depth of Intel's
hardware and software talent. Linutronix will continue to operate as
an independent business within our software division, led by Egger
and Gleixner.

I look forward to working together with the entire Linutronix team to
unlock the opportunities in front of us as we pursue our common
vision of a strong open ecosystem built on Linux.
