Fyo - Re: "). Even disabled, AMD is still shipping the implementation and, as such, would be liable if it infringed on Intel patents. Since the feature can be activated, there would seem to be no protection from such an infringement case." Intel and AMD entered into a (renewal) cross-licensing agreement just a few months ago. I'd be surprised if AMD tried to circumvent the licensing agreement - especially so early on. My guess is that whatever AMD has in their new AThWipers is already covered under the licensing agreement - assuming of course that AMD didn't directly copy Intel's implementation of SSE instructions.
