I mean it will be hard for Intel to explain to it's investors that they paid some $600M for patents that they had already anyway (I mean Intel doesn't need x86 patents ;-) Steve, You know very well Intel would not buy the x86 patents for its intrinsic value. Its sort of like why you would buy a muffler for the car. It doesn't help performance, but it cuts down on the noise. BTW: I have a question for you. What do you think of AMAT? It seems they would be a beneficiary of these chip wars. I may have to look at that stock. AT & T may be another. Both have been hammered of late. Dale
