Good job AMD!.

[jollysnowman]

That's pretty awesome. $1 billion is a loooot of money...

Could AMD have teamed up with other processor companies (ARM, Centaur, etc.) to make it a class action lawsuit? (I don't know sh*t about legal stuff) That would've been epic.

Simple. AMD is better.

I don't understand how Intel is liked so much, just look at how they abuse their position, they are far worse than Microsoft. Yet because Intel is Linux friendly we ignore these?
What Intel has been doing would be the same as Microsoft creating an operating system, try to stop other people from creating operating systems for x86 (Intel are very protective of their x86 and it is difficult to get a hold of the license), then bullied companies who used other operating systems (people may claim Microsoft have done this but until there is clear evidence like there is for Intel it is all just speculation) and finally, blocked other people from creating software for the operating system (Intel have managed to make nVidia stop development of their chip sets for Intel CPUs)

Intel and AMD have an agreement which, should they end, assures mutual destruction. AMD licence their x64 architecture to Intel and Intel licence their x32 architecture to AMD. That's why you will often see x64 referred to as AMD64.
