Intel sued over Core 2 architechure - Page 3

Do I need to explain to you that it was a joke............

????

That really was my point. That and the fact that he went to work for Intel because they actually knew how to use his invention.
The reality is that most patents should only be used to identify who should get credit for an invention.
The odd major one, like silicon gate tech, and the 4004, should give the inventor a lot of notoriety.
Faggin was not very good at suing people, but, unfortunately, he has to often been forgotten. Pitty.

The core 2 was a revision of the OLD pentium Pros of long ago developed from Intels Israeli research and development team. This patent is hot air. But maybe intel will be nice to them just to keep from going to court. Maybe buy them new blow up dolls for those lonely friday nights.

At least youhave some honor in linking proof. But it doesn't state which patents unfortunately. And funny thing is now Intel did some digging and found 7 patents that Transmeta infringed upon. Funny also that Transmeta is going to stop their line of processors for an IP based business but they still only want money.

Will be interesting to find out what will happen. It would be funny if some of the patents that Transmeta has date all the way back to what Intel had in the first Pentium considering they were founded in 1995. It would be thrown out.

This is the same thing though. Only one side of the story which can't be used even in a court of law. Has anyone else noticed the increased number of suits recently? Has been happening ever since Phenom turned out to be a flop and Intel has been getting good revenue. Maybe its a conincidence but still.

Or was it? .....::Twilight theme music insert::

I wasn't really presenting it as proof just a heads up. "I haven't read any financial reports or corporate briefs with anything other than invester fluff." These are corporate games that companies play. They have to bank roll legions of Lawyers that do nothing most of the time. So if you pay to retain them why not use them. Also if you follow the stock, everybody’s stock goes up when there is a chance of a settlement in their favor. Only a few dollars a share but that can translate in massive financial gains in trade, day in and day out. Not to mention influencing investor confidence and increasing borrowing and such fiscal leverage. Again it is nothing personal just keeping legal busy so they don't go on a brain eating zombie rampage. And in reality it keeps money moving around and actually stimulates the economy. It is like the ebb and flow of the economic tides, prevents market stagnation without stirring up any serious muck.

We need to gather in the streets and listen to the words of the might amd god thunderman he shall lead us to salvation. Performing jihads on all those non believes as we pass and if by the grace of god the evil intel empire martyrs us we can get our 72 quadfather systems with 3870x2 video cards.
sorry just had to.

AMD is a non-profit company. Well, actually....

Squeal little piggy.

Perhaps this topic should be moved to:

According to a post in Wiki they are stated to have been running a "wild" security experament trying to make sure it was all good. Turned out one of the rods got too hot and when put into the collant got hotter and then.....kaboom.

I hate say but you guys still don't have the full picture. I was serving in the Navy on a Fast Attach Nuclear submarine. The final report on what happened and when with a timeline was required reading. The report was confidential at the time.

Lets just say the moderator for that reactor was carbon. The control rods had a 6 foot attachment of carbon on the bottom of each control rod. They were attempting to perform a test at low power were the reactor was never designed to run and they disabled every single safety system and threw out the door every other safety procedure.

They shot themselves so many times in the head and other body parts that its a wonder they did not do more damage than they did. The caused a Steam explosion inside the reactor core. that blew the reactor core apart and do to all of the heat production and the oxygen that now entered the core the carbon started to burn releasing all of the fission fragments into the smoke along with any fuel.

The other thing to remember is that the design of the reactor did not include any containment building like US Nuclear Plants. You just had a simple building structure around the reactor.

Be glad that there are no reactors in the States with a similar Reactor design.
