End of Intel-Pin-Compatible CPUs?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-then-there-was-one dept.

sonamchauhan writes ""Intel, Via bury the hatchet" proclaims this news.com article. The settlement reportedly allows Via to build Intel-pin-compatible CPUs for three years more, but Via must cease pin-compatibility after that." This settlement apparently closes out 27 existing lawsuits.

  1. Via C3 by stanmann · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Does this mean they will be producing a C4 which will beat the trousers off the P4, Or will they perhaps begin working on a P4Killer that will only work on a VIA board and will include a RNG and a FPU. Or will they try to take advantage of the Tight integration and Produce a really inexpensive Chipset which will include an off-die FPU like the x87 series.
