Paul, re:<Re: 'AMD gave Intel the rights to a couple of chips...>

The fact is, AMD did a very large favor for Intel by second-sourcing the x86 chips, which is why the original agreement was so vague about what AMD would cross-license in return. Many OEM's demanded that there be a second source for their CPU chips, and, without the second source, Motorola or even Zilog could have become numero uno.
