Didn't Intel & AMD sign a licensing agreement allowing AMD to implement the x86 ISA? That would explain one of your examples. Very good question though.

- pvg 10y agoI was thinking of NEC v Intel although that one is pretty murky too, to the nonspecialist - NEC already had certain licenses, etc.
- gsnedders 10y agoThe former Intel & AMD agreements were about patents, as far as I'm aware. (The latest actually expired a year or two ago. Still, neither will sue the other because it's mutually assured destruction.)
