Intel vs AMD Patent Battle
Posted October 11th, 2008 at 8:08 PM by Swansen
Apparently there is something going on between AMD and Intel, and from what it looks like Intel is trying to crush AMD, as well as crush its own outstanding anti-trust suits, which have been in question for some time now. Its not 100%, but it seems the patent in question is over the x86 architecture, which Intel says it will vigorously protect. AMD responded by saying that they nor their partners have infringed on any patents.

I think this is a whole lot of Intel BS, they are afraid of AMD’s new financial situation, via gaining wealth from the ATIC deal, and are afraid they are going to do something like they did with their Athlon 64’s. So now Intel is bringing up whatever they could find on their x86 patents. On a final note, i thought patents lasted from 15 to 20 years, X86 has been around since the beginning of time. (obviously not, but you get it.)
