During 2025 and 2024, we capitalized several licensed technology, patents and other arrangements totaling $431 million and $562 million respectively. These intangible assets are subject to amortization over a weighted average useful life of approximately 6 years. Additionally, during 2025, we divested Altera and retired certain intangible assets that were fully amortized resulting in a reduction of our gross assets and accumulated amortization as of December 27, 2025. For further information see "Note 10: Acquisitions and Divestitures" within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Amortization expenses recorded for and the weighted average useful life assigned to identified intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for each period were as follows:
