Larry, all.

Oh, good grief, now the FTC is ordering (too strong a word?) Intel to license the alpha chip manufacturing rights to AMD and Samsung (Samsung already had it). Just heard this on CNBC. Yet another case of the government sending it's murky cloud into the free enterprise arena? This is not as bad as the gummint refuting the Strongarm chip as being part of the deal, where Strongarm rights would go over to Intel. Article in the San Jose Mercury News (aka the Murky News) said this refuting (word?) was being speculated upon by analysts.

The alpha chip being available to AMD might be a godsend to Intel. If AMD couldn't even build their own design K6 with decent yields for a year, or so, what in the world will happen when they try to build another company's chip. Might be a moot point, since who's buying alpha based systems anyway.
