Gerald, < Patents >

Ah yes, Patents. The Speed Step gets you 95 percent of the way. If I were a patent lawyer, I would argue that the last five percent was an "obvious" extension. "Obvious" is very subjective, and "obvious" means obvious to anyone skilled in the art.

However Intel should try and avoid litigation. If I could have copies of Intel's patents on Speed Step, and Transmeta patents, I could judge Intel's exposure.
