Dan,

It may not be the pc133 iNhEL is after.

The VIA MVP4 is a PC66/PC100 socket seven chipset.

iNhEL is after VIA Apollo MVP4 chipset, Apollo Pro, and the SD11,
which uses a Via south bridge (686). All three of these use the 686 southbridge.

Until more details are available, hopefully within 20 days, we are not sure what specific patent/license violations allegedly has occurred.

A different take is iNhEL has learned in the past that a lawsuit and it's legal proceedings can consume years before a settlement.
Filing these "intimidation" lawsuits and losing them will more than pay off in the long run compared to the short term costs.

AMD won't be around.
