Re: ". Future patents may allow for such equalization or even a tilt towards AMD in this venue."

Cool..

AMD can look forward to that possibility in 2011 - ten years from now - when the current licensing agreement expires !

Re: "Why does Intel licence at all? Does AMD in fact have some key patents and is able to force the issue, or is the heavay hand of the DOJ in evidence here?"

Intel licenses to make money and to assist its other businesses. Keeping the DOJ off its butt is of course another good reason.
