    NXP’s purchase of Freescale will make NXP the top semiconductor supplier to the auto industry, according to Don Clark writing in The Wall Street Journal. He cites Gartner research placing NXP and Freescale in the fourth and fifth positions, respectively, before the merger. Clark notes that new cars have as many as 100 chips, with Gartner estimating that a new car includes $334 worth of semiconductors, a figure that will rise to $368 by 2018.

    Clark quotes Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive of Nvidia, as saying, “The car is going to become a computer on wheels. This is going to be a large business.” Clark also reports the NXP chief executive Richard Clemmer emphasizes that the auto market is only one of many targets for the combined company.
