Intel Notifies AMD of Cross-License Breach @ TechPowerUp!

Well looks like big bad Intel is going for another lawsuit. Nvidia was not enough now they are going after AMD. This is going to be an interesting fight. This is not going to win Intel any friends.

Intel Corporation today disclosed that the company has notified Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) that it believes AMD has breached a 2001 patent cross-license agreement with Intel. Intel believes that Global Foundries is not a subsidiary under terms of the agreement and is therefore not licensed under the 2001 patent cross-license agreement. Intel also said the structure of the deal between AMD and ATIC breaches a confidential portion of that agreement. Intel has asked AMD to make the relevant portion of the agreement public, but so far AMD has declined to do so. AMD's breach could result in the loss of licenses and rights granted to AMD by Intel under the agreement.

This looks very bad for AMD.
