well maybe a little ;-) biz.yahoo.com While the spinoff is good for AMD's finances, it could set up a showdown with Intel over a cross-licensing agreement the two companies have covering the so-called x86 architecture, which is the heart of PC chips and many server chips. That agreement contains confidential parts that Intel could claim AMD violated if the new investors were given access to them. Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said the company is evaluating the deal. "Given the confidential provision, even AMD's new investors could not know the confidential terms of the contract," he said. "We're curious about whether the new investors made this commitment without even knowing the terms of AMD's license with Intel." An AMD spokesman did not have a comment about the licensing deal.
