AMD Says Manufacturing Deal Does Not Violate Intel Processor Patents
The day after AMD announced a significant deal that will spin off its manufacturing facilities into a new joint venture company, AMD is defending its licensing agreement with Intel. In the wake of the deal, Intel said it would review its processor licensing agreement with AMD to ensure the deal does not violate any patent agreements. An AMD spokesman said the deal does not impact the chip licensing agreement with Intel.
A few hours after the announcement, Intel made a statement that it was investigating whether the new company violates a chip licensing agreement it has with AMD. Specifically, the agreement allows AMD to use Intel’s x86 chip instruction set and in return, AMD pays Intel a royalty. The next day, Oct. 8, AMD fired back and charged that the new company does not violate any previous agreement with Intel.
