Hey - VIA has put out a sheeeeetload of MUCKED-UP AthWiper chip sets - all you DROIDS just love them !! So why would VIA dreck tarnish Intel's P4 reputation when it shines up the AMD AthWiper?

Jimbo - Re:"Didn't Intel pull VIAs license for the Pentium something once before and VIA circuvented iit with a NSM cross license?." VIA did renege on the terms of its P3 license. Intel then filed a patent suit and an ITC action. In the end, VIA settled with Intel, paying money and stopping production of unlicensed parts. The claim of an NSM license based on the Cyrix purchase did not hold water.
