Recent News but not very old...

It’s amazing how much the world changes before breakfast.

At 6am Pacific this morning, a joint Intel & AMD press release hit our inboxes like a nuclear bomb: AMD and Intel are settling their differences. And just like that, the CPU landscape as we know it has significantly changed.

Out of this settlement come four major things for AMD:

   1. $1.25 billion in cold, hard cash.
   2. Intel will stop doing things that they and AMD agree they shouldn’t be doing.
   3. The right to not have to produce x86 CPUs in-house. AMD can go fabless.
   4. The right to have their x86 processors fabricated anywhere of AMD’s choosing.

AMD and Intel Settle Their Differences

hmm... perhaps intel has finally realized that its a GPGPU world out there (hence their roadmap change from pure CPU design to CPU+GPGPU design in the next processor change cycle) and the epiphany that AMD is right to get ATI early on



I wonder how Intel+NVidia for a joint venture would sound? (think power of the i7/i9 processor integrated with the power of G200b in a single silicon chip)

remember NVidia has slapped Intel with numerous suits regarding licencing on NVidia chipsets, processor design (CPU+GPGPU) and platform design

if they suddenly just decided to collaborate ala ATI/AMD ...

now that is just WOW

I think that's the rationale behind the settlement.
