There is a little more than that, but it is an act of desperation. They will not have to pay for any patents, to TI at least. However, the side that has not been discussed about that is all of the major patents are beyond the terms of where they can no longer be charged for use. It will save them about 140-180 million, just a little less than what TI was losing per quarter for the DRAM operation.
