I don't know if AMD could license x86 cores since I don't know what their deal is on x86 IP with Intel.
- mbreese 6y agoAnd as you allude to -- AMD wouldn't exist without a license to the x86 ISA from Intel anyway. So all of the major CPU/GPU vendors have some kind of IP licensing in place. The question is now with Apple as a player, how will this shake up the rest of the chip industry. Will we see more cross-licensing or will existing players retreat and hold their IP closer?
