Chipmakers Intel Corp (INTC.O) and Altera Corp (ALTR.O) have resumed talks on a possible deal that could top $13 billion, the New York Post reported.Earlier discussions on a deal fell through as the companies were unable to agree on a price, reported in April.Altera's shares jumped 7 percent to $47.50 in premarket trading on Monday, while Intel's shares were up slightly at $33.15. One way or the other, an outcome is expected in a few weeks, the newspaper said, citing a person familiar with the matter. Intel and Altera could not immediately be reached for comment. Deal talks between the two companies first surfaced in March and media reports suggested that a potential deal could top $10 billion, making it Intel's biggest acquisition ever.
