    If you had read my post you would know that i know that officially AMD would lose its license if someone buys them and if you had read my post you would alos know why i think there is a chance that Intel would make an exception.

    edit:
    Anyone have a realistic estimate of how much AMD in its current state would cost?

    Intel make an exeption? I can hear the CFO laughing. Its quite cheaper to battle and fit any regulations and such if they could in average raise the price 10-20% as a monopoly. That would be some 5-10billion$ to deal with any "issues" a year.

    No way in hell.

    Also since AMD would legally be out of the battle. No foul play. Then there is nothing you can use against Intel to get someone to give nVidia a license.

    tbh i wouldnt be so fast with saying things like ''no way in hell''

    Like i said it would be fully legal of Intel to take away the license if such a thing happens but them making an exception is a possibility.
