Intel Sued Over Atom Power Management Feature

[ucther]

As said above, they would also have to sue AMD since their power management feature does the same thing.

One of the patents I sold was to do exactly the same thing as another patent, just done a different way. AMD and others may have a slight twist that makes it unique to the patent in question.

without the words integrated circuit, the title of the patent could cover all living organisms.

Steve Jobs was awarded that patent in the late 90's,any time now he'll be launching the Apple vs The carbon based life forms suit.

Intel invented SpeedStep.

I knew a lot of you would be thinking that because you're all brainwashed as bad as the Apple people you spend so much time hating.

No because apple has so many open law suits at the moment. Hell they have 19 suits in various countries just against Samsung.

Plus just got their ban on the Galaxy S and S2 in many European countries. If you can't beat em, sue em.

Let's sue every human as well since we obviously don't have a license for sleeping.

Wonder why they're tagetting only Intel/Freescale/Marvell and not VIA nor AMD. Or how about NVidia and ATI(AMD) for reducing clock rates when GPU is not in use?

This is ridiculous, simply.

Well if you all READ the patent it is actually quite specific and does seem to resemble the function of speedstep. It was not some vague idea they patented.
