* In 2003, VIA settled its long-time patent and monopolisation disputes against Intel in the UK in exchange for an extensive cross-licence agreement with Intel for 10 years.

* In addition, the FTC settlement order will require Intel to:
• modify its intellectual property agreements with AMD, Nvidia, and VIA so that those companies have more freedom to consider mergers or joint ventures with other companies, without the threat of being sued by Intel for patent infringement;
• offer to extend VIA’s x86 licensing agreement for five years beyond the current agreement, which expires in 2013;

So yeah, these are for the Chinese market, not likely to be available outside of China.
Let's see if they can deliver their new chips next year at a competitive level.
