CPU designer poaching has a long and glorious history.
In the '90s Intel drove a pretty good stake into the PowerPC by building a CPU design center in Austin and hiring away critical parts of the Motorola team which was working up the street.
In the '70s MOS picked up a disgruntled Motorola team and made the 6502.
Motorola won lawsuits in both events, but lost the wars.
