Re: This ruling validates Intergraph's patents So now, in the unlikely event that Itanic doesn't sink without a trace, AMD/Via/Transmeta/etc. can license Intergraph/Itanic technology from Intergraph and sell compatible chips. The whole point of the Itanium exercise was to claim a permanent monopoly on future chip generations. That would have eliminated the need to offer a Celeron line to keep AMD/Via/Transmeta's "oxygen" cut off, and let Intel get back to the good old days of $250 ASPs. By ripping off Intergraph's basic design, and getting caught doing it, Intel has lost its chance to block entrants into the CPU market until their next new instruction set architecture - say around 2015.

Dick, Re: <You know what that means, don't you? Yes - next stop - AMD.> This lawsuit was about VLIW. Is AMD using VLIW? Do they have plans to? Do you know what you're talking about? A simple explanation may help. intergraph.com -tgp
