dhellman,

Would AMD trade HyperTransport for SSE2?

I think AMD said that it is not going to use LDT to barter for other patents, and my guess is, Intel is free to become a licensee.

As far as SSE(2), I am not sure it is patentable. I seem to recall that an instruction set cannot be patented, only implementation (correct me if I am wrong), and I am pretty sure AMD will implement it differently. Besides, I think AMD has a perpetual license for x86 instructions
