Does this therefore mean that intel can use AMD's Hypertransport technology ( AMD and the hypertransport consortium's technology rather) if they wanted to. Or that AMD could use, for example the data pre fetch technologies, SSE4, macro fusion or "wide dynamic execution" etc in their CPUs? :roll:
just stumbled across it when reading about C2d on Wikipedia.
-WikipediaThe only major competitor to Intel on the x86 processor market is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), with which Intel has had full cross-licensing agreements since 1976: each partner can use the other's patented technological innovations without charge after a certain time.
