Summary: AMD has found a legal loophole to sell out critical x86 chip design IP to the Chinese for a cash infusion of 300+ million. Expect to see knock off copies emerge and AMD ultimately get pushed out of China in favor a local company that has their IP in hand. Their executives are either stupidly naive and in for a major shock, or plain greedy/desperate and willing to sell out the West for 300 million cash. If so then its IP laundering in my opinion. I hope the US gov regulators roast them for this. I plan to avoid their products as much as possible now.
