It doesn't matter who is involved, the license is non-transferable. AMD is going to have to bribe Intel in order not to get sued.

I wasnt wrong, I chose incorrect wording. Those companies are AMD, nothing was actually transferred. Rather, the technology still lies with AMD an no one else. The foundry company is not going to produce for anyone else, so nothing has changed.

Perhaps INTEL knows something that the rest of us don't: AM3 is going to rock the world:rockout::rockout:

That's the way I understand it (a meeting to discuss the standing of the licenses). Intel's lawyers are going to present what they see as problems and try to settle it out of court. If Intel's lawyers walk away unhappy, I'm certain it will end up in court sooner or later.

I'm sure AMD's lawyers have a few outstanding license issues they'd like to discuss too. The lawsuits aren't happening yet but I think it is inevitable.

hopefully it won't have to come down to litigation . . . considering both Intel and AMD are playing fairly with each other right now, instead of acting like 4 year olds, it's quite possible that things will work out favorably for each.

Advanced Micro Devices and Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC) announced on Tuesday that they had obtained clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) regarding the creation of The Foundry Company (TFC), a joint venture between AMD and United Arab Emirates-based ATIC.

ATIC will be learning things Intel did not approve.

I do find Intel's timing a bit suspect. How long has the Foundry Company plan been around? More than a year now?

If it ends up in court, that may be considered.


I wouldn't expect much from AM3. It is merely a different socket for Phenom II processors to use. It doesn't represent anything monumental.

Good thing they never transferred the license then. AMD is still the only holder of it. TFC can't stamp out x86 cpus unless it's from a licensed company. Meaning they can stamp out for AMD, VIA, or even Intel themselves. They just can't stamp out their own x86 chips.

I think AMD is fine here.

I can't see Intel actually wanting AMD gone (in any of their reality thoughts, lol). Intel wants to be able to control AMD. AMD has been branching out a lot lately and with some large partners. Intel may also be worried those partners are/will try to take over AMD. Or for that matter Intel may be trying to scare those partners away (not that I think that will happen).

Intel needs AMD around but on that same note Intel needs to be able to control AMD as much as they can to keep their edge. By keeping them around and looking like they are just competiters it keeps the governments off their back (as much as possible).
