Star Intel: AMD Has Broken 2001 Cross-Licensing Deal
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 16th Mar 2009 17:04 UTC
AMD Recently, AMD spun off its manufacturing business in a partnership with the Abu Dhabi government into Global Foundries. Apparently, Intel isn't very happy about this, and has said in correspondence to AMD that the patent cross-license agreement from 2001 has now been broken by AMD.

Now that Intel plans to manufacture Atoms in TSMC Fabs as part of SoC chips, and if these Atoms gets the 64bits extensions (which most of them currently lack), then Intel could have some troubles as well.

Actually all Atoms have been 64bits from the get go....

no thats isn't correct. Atom chips with an "N" or a "Z" infront of them are 32 bit chips. This was a terrible move by Intel, thanks for slowing down teh adoption of 64 bit...

Certainly plausible and it looks like a similar position to what Intel is accusing AMD of being in.
