"At the very least, they brought with them the patents owned by the engineers, which I'm sure isn't trivial." Umm, does the company you work for allow you to keep full rights to any patents? All the ones I have worked for want everything that I do during my time of employment with them, whether on my own time or company time. Now they may allow my name on said patent, but they keep the rights. Some have even claimed rights to anything done after a certain period of time after I left them, but that likely could not be enforced... "I assume that Intel will have gained a lot of support for Hyperthreading" I doubt that Hyperthreading requirements are that much different from any other SMT implementation. At most, they might be more restrictive. I don't think this will be a big factor, unless AMD implements something that is less functional than Intel's. I suspect not, mainly because AMD will likely do SMT later and have more transistors to play with. Note: I am not saying that AMD's engineers are smarter, only that they will have the luxury of doing their work later.
