Intel Corp. is talks to buy Altera Corp. in a deal that would be
the chip-making giant's largest takeover ever.
Terms of the potential deal and its timing couldn't be learned,
and it's possible there ultimately won't be one.
With a market capitalization of $10.4 billion Friday afternoon,
Altera would be a big bite for Intel, which has traditionally stuck
to smaller acquisitions whenever it's done deals.
