    APM X-Gene also sold recently

    Cavium isn’t the only ARM server processor vendor to change hands recently. APM, who made the X-Gene, were bought by MACOM at the start of the year. They have now spun out the X-Gene part of the business; it’s now owned mostly by Carlyle Group, an investment company.
