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.

  2. But which one is "coolest"? by missing000 · · Score: 3, Funny

    you can't buy single Via processors anyway

    I think you're mistaken



    From that page:
    The 667MHz VIA Cyrix III is the coolest processor on the market

    and

    The 600MHz VIA C3 is the coolest processor on the market

    I'm confused.
