I wonder how comparable this agreement will be to the one signed between Microsoft and Apple that ended their legal battles over "look and feel." They signed patent cross-licensing agreements about five years later.
But the agreement came when Apple had all but lost the PC market to Microsoft--the agreement was Apple's way of capitulating and Microsoft allowing Apple to save face.
What does this mean for the Intel monopoly position in the market?
- Tuna-Fish 17y agoRight now, Intel can easily maintain their position on products alone -- the only place AMD can compete is on the low end, and even there Intel can cut prices to where AMD just can't compete if Intel feels like it. All the anticompetitive stuff happened when AMD genuinely had the better product, and until that happens again, I doubt anything will happen to Intel's position.
