Elmer, I thought they had a tech agreement where A was traded for B. As far as I know the terms were met, however tech changed and what Intel got turned out to be less valuable than what AMD received in the long run. It could have been the other way as Intel made what it thought was a reasonable deal and AMD performed it's part as did Intel.
It is not AMD's fault that Intel declined to make use of the designs offered or taken or that the market changed making the tech less valuable. Do you think Intel made a deal and agreed to take whatever AMD had in a closed box?
But it is so far in the past as to be moot now, but it does show how Intel does look for monopolistic solutions as the steel and oil barons did before them
