"What we do know is that Intel *definitely* ended up with Alpha IP, and that some of it was non-exclusive. "

Do you know of any of that IP that is exclusive?

"some AMDroid Hopefulls seem to think that these two facts somehow point to AMD getting the same rights, even though such a connection is never mentioned, even indirectly."

I never stated this, I just disputed that Intel got the exclusive use of the patents. From the public statements, all Intel got was a license, not the actual patents. I suspect that AMD already got all that they will need, at least for the near term. AMD has developed their own interconnect that doesn't depend on the Alpha patents, and I suspect that they have their own answer for SMT.

But who knows what the future will bring?
