La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de capital-investissement Canyon Bridge, propri\u00e9taire d’Imagination Technologies Group Ltd. (Kings Langley, Angleterre), a charg\u00e9 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de gestion d’actifs Lazard de rechercher un acqu\u00e9reur pour le pionnier du graphisme, selon certaines informations.<\/h2>\n

Imagination conc\u00e8de des licences sur la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 intellectuelle des semi-conducteurs, en particulier sur les unit\u00e9s de traitement graphique (GPU) utilis\u00e9es dans les \u00e9crans mobiles tels que les smartphones et les cockpits automobiles. Lazard a d\u00e9j\u00e0 re\u00e7u des approches, selon le rapport de Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

Canyon Bridge, bien que bas\u00e9 aux \u00c9tats-Unis, a des liens \u00e9troits avec la Chine, source d’une grande partie de l’argent qu’il a sous gestion. Elle a acquis Imagination en 2017, mais a \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9e \u00e0 des inqui\u00e9tudes concernant le transfert de technologies vers la Chine. L’utilisation des GPU pour l’IA ne rend pas seulement probl\u00e9matique l’acc\u00e8s de la Chine \u00e0 l’entreprise, mais offre \u00e9galement une valeur potentielle que Canyon Bridge pourrait \u00eatre en mesure de r\u00e9aliser.<\/p>\n

Canyon Bridge a pay\u00e9 681 millions de dollars US pour Imagination en 2017.<\/p>\n

Un ancien PDG d’Imagination, Ron Black, a obtenu gain de cause aupr\u00e8s d’un tribunal du travail qui a estim\u00e9 qu’il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 licenci\u00e9 abusivement pour avoir divulgu\u00e9 des informations prot\u00e9g\u00e9es sur des projets de d\u00e9localisation de l’entreprise en Chine et des pr\u00e9occupations concernant Peter Kuo, un partenaire de Canyon Bridge si\u00e9geant au conseil d’administration d’Imagination. M. Black poursuit Imagination pour un montant de 220 millions de dollars am\u00e9ricains.<\/p>\n

De succ\u00e8s en d\u00e9sillusions<\/h4>\n

L’histoire d’Imagination est jalonn\u00e9e de succ\u00e8s divers. Au d\u00e9but de son existence, dans les ann\u00e9es 1990, elle \u00e9tait leader dans la concession de licences de circuits GPU, des \u00e9crans \u00e9tant ajout\u00e9s \u00e0 toute une s\u00e9rie d’\u00e9quipements embarqu\u00e9s. Dans les ann\u00e9es 2000, elle est confront\u00e9e \u00e0 son rival britannique ARM, qui d\u00e9veloppe ses propres GPU pour compl\u00e9ter son offre de processeurs pour t\u00e9l\u00e9phones mobiles. Un engagement strat\u00e9gique avec Apple a permis \u00e0 Imagination de se maintenir \u00e0 flot, et Apple a m\u00eame pris une participation dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 un moment donn\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Cependant, en 2017, Apple a rendu publique sa d\u00e9cision de d\u00e9velopper ses propres GPU et a laiss\u00e9 tomber Imagination et en recrutant une parie de ses d\u00e9veloppeurs, une d\u00e9cision qui a entra\u00een\u00e9 l’entreprise britannique dans une chute vertigineuse qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9solue par le rachat de Canyon Bridge.<\/p>\n

Depuis lors, l’augmentation continue des restrictions commerciales avec la Chine depuis 2017 a probablement un impact sur les revenus d’Imagination. Des all\u00e9gations continuent de circuler selon lesquelles des technologies cl\u00e9s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 transf\u00e9r\u00e9es \u00e0 P\u00e9kin.<\/p>\n

Imagination dispose d’environ 3 500 brevets et d’une \u00e9quipe de 650 ing\u00e9nieurs sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s dans la conception de puces. La position de l’entreprise en tant que sp\u00e9cialiste des GPU lui conf\u00e8re potentiellement une certaine valeur. Sa propri\u00e9t\u00e9 intellectuelle pourrait jouer un r\u00f4le dans la mesure o\u00f9 l’IA edge et l’IA sur les smartphones, les PC et l’\u00e9lectronique grand public sont consid\u00e9r\u00e9es comme la prochaine fronti\u00e8re de l’adoption de l’IA.<\/p>\n

L’importance des GPU pour la technologie de l’IA pourrait signifier que n’importe laquelle des nombreuses entreprises technologiques pourrait \u00eatre int\u00e9ress\u00e9e par Imagination, mais aussi que les organismes de r\u00e9glementation antitrust pourraient ralentir toute acquisition.<\/p>\n
