Lenovo buys Phoenix Technologies' firmware business
news.lenovo.com- IBM creates PC and its BIOS - Phoenix creates clone of BIOS - At some point, IBM/Lenovo stopped using its own BIOS - IBM spins out Lenovo - Lenovo buys Phoenix
In-house firmware, outsource, then in-house again.
Was thinking the same but also wow, but also ibm and Lenovo isn’t the same, Lenovo bought out the thinkpad line, not IBM.
In other news. Phoenix bios/efi and firmware is popular enough in numerous places so wonder where this will go next, Lenovo is already Chinese owned afaik Phoenix just USA but large employee base in Taiwan?
