It's been revealed that Applied Micro's development of X-Gene went similar to how they had the Titan core developed before, i.e. they commissioned another company to do the actual development, only that for X-Gene it's been
Veloce instead of Intrinsity.
In the process, Applied Micro has decided to acquire Veloce including its development team. Details:

Btw, funny statement by Applied Micro's CEO:
"
32-bit ARM has been around for 10 years."
(truth: ARM went 32-bit with ARMv3 in 1992, so 20 years ago.)
