SUNNYVALE/SANTA CLARA, Calif. --11/12/2009

Intel Corporation and Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) today announced a comprehensive agreement to end all outstanding legal disputes between the companies, including antitrust litigation and patent cross license disputes.

In a joint statement the two companies commented, "While the relationship between the two companies has been difficult in the past, this agreement ends the legal disputes and enables the companies to focus all of our efforts on product innovation and development."

Under terms of the agreement, AMD and Intel obtain patent rights from a new 5-year cross license agreement, Intel and AMD will give up any claims of breach from the previous license agreement, and Intel will pay AMD $1.25 billion. Intel has also agreed to abide by a set of business practice provisions. As a result, AMD will drop all pending litigation including the case in U.S. District Court in Delaware and two cases pending in Japan. AMD will also withdraw all of its regulatory complaints worldwide. The agreement will be made public in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Dok im Izraelci nisu uzeli stvar u ruke i napravili novi proc oni su kaskali i podmetali AMD-u na ovakve nacine. Dovoljno su veliki i jaki da to nece uticati na njih, sta je Intelu 1,25 mlrd $ platiti za to. Reskirali su i zaradili pa mogu dio toga dati AMD-u kojemu ce ovo biti dobar vritnjak u guzicu ako pametno iskoriste lovu. Ako ....

da, znali su se prodati za velku lovu kad su zaglibili s R600 ... d

Ono što je možda još i važnije od love je činjenica da AMD sada može proizvoditi procesore gdje i kako hoće. Vjerojatno će se s vremenom rješavati ostatka svog udjela u GlobalFoundries.

Da, ako im zaskripi s lovom imaju nacina kako doci do jos Ali ja se ne bi rjesavao udjela tog, mislim da ce GF dobro poslovati...

Mislim da je ta milijarda ovde sporedna stvar

Baš tak, ovdje je lova u igri samo da se zamaskiraju oči javnosti, a pored toga u kulisama se vjerovatno tek bubanj pokreće.
