Intel's chips cause "millions and millions of infringements per second“ according to a VLSI attorney. That’s an interesting way to put it, who’s their attorney, Saul Goodman?
VLSI is still pursuing two other patent infringement cases against Intel.
It sucks to be an INTC bag holder right now.
A new way to rate chips: MIPS (millions of infringements per second NOT millions of instructions per second).
You lose a little and win a little with these patent infringements. This is no big deal for Intel. It all balances out and will not move the needle for Intel in any significant way.
better up the layoff number to account for this. :)
