Direct from Mosnews is the story about Intel buying out Elbrus and UniPro, heavy hardware/software R&D companies with roughly 630 employees total. Elbrus was making SPARC-compatible microprocessors while UniPro is more of an outsourcing services provider working in California and Japan. Nothing about the purchase on Intel’s official Web siute, Intel.ru spins the news differently, saying that after Elbrus and UniPro purchase Intel will double the number of researchers it employs in .ru land.
