Intel denies story of license deal with AMD

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/18/2017 04:02 PM | source: | 3 comment(s)

Intel has thrown cold water on a report that it might license graphics technology from AMD. They returned with a straightand simple denial. AMD earlier on already refused to comment on a report by Fudzilla.

But Intel tells Tiernan Ray "The recent rumors that Intel has licensed AMD's graphics technology are untrue."

In a statement sent to Tech Trader Daily by an Intel spokesperson, the company said "The recent rumors that Intel has licensed AMD's graphics technology are untrue." A rumor had spread on Tuesday that AMD had won a deal to license its graphics technology to Intel, as related by Fuad Abazovic of Fudzilla, who wrote that an AMD-Intel deal was “confirmed,” without citing sources. When AMD failed to disclose any such deal yesterday, during its annual analyst meeting to discuss its technology and financial outlook, the AMD stock was punished Wednesday.

Barrons asked Intel if the company has any further detail on whether it has definitely decided not to license technology from AMD. The company said no further detail would be provided.

People unable to read generating rumors :wanker:

Rumors based on nothing but one single forum post post in Dec 2016, and which Fudzilla has decided to necro for reasons known only to Fudzilla.

Lets make something clear:

Nothing has expired in March 2017!

Except so called capture period. And this "capture period" is used solely to define "patents" that the Nv/Intel Agreement is dealing with:

"Patents" shall mean all classes or types of patents to which such entities have the right to grant licenses and have a first effective filing date during the Capture Period.

In other words, any patent that is filled after March 31. falls outside the scope of the Agreement. That's all that happened at March 31.

Under the patent cross license agreement NVIDIA has granted to Intel and Intel's qualified subsidiaries, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to all patents that are either owned or controlled by the parties at any time that have a first filing date on or before March 31, 2017.
The term of the patent cross license agreement continues until the expiration of the last to expire of the licensed patents.

Which effectively means that any patented technology that Intel is currently using for its built-in GPUs, it will be able to continue to use until the terms of the patents expire, which for recently granted patents, could be 20 years from now.

That's really a shame looks like Intel will always suck in mobile when it comes to anything gaming related.
