Intel forks over the $1.25 billion settlement to AMD, apparently had it ‘just laying around’

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Remember that time you owed your buddy for the take out and then you found $20 in the couch? This is kind of like that. Except instead of “take out” we’re talking “accusations of anticompetitive practices and stolen IP,” and instead of “$20″ we’re referring to the $1.25 billion check that Intel just shot into the arm of AMD, as per agreement. Intel certainly isn’t out of the woods yet with this anticompetitive stuff, but with the biggest CPU monkey off its back and some fancy patent cross-licensing between the companies, we should hopefully see the benefits of this in better and faster chips from both chip giants in the somewhat distant future.

You are in Canada but you guys have a very similar structure as we do governmental by province. Here, I would contact the Lt. Gov's office of my state to argue both situations…whatever is the equivalent office.

Lt Gov offices handle misuses of any legal proceeding and state ran organizations, as well as, know the outcome of criminal cases.
