Thank you InvalidError for saving me the time to have to point out the list of patents to him.
To further push on the "simultaneous multi-threading" part of this, it was first thought of in the 60s by IBM, and was developed to a working state by many companies such as DEC, Intel, MIPS Technology, and AMD to name a few. Not sure when AMD finished their work on it, cause they only make use of it in the Bulldozer FPU inside of their CPUs, not sure about GPUs. The others have all had working models of it since the late 1990s.
None of these patents are really proper to be granted. Hopefully this patent war can finish fast so Qualcomm can back to work, everyone is trying to sue them and they are one of the biggest forces innovating mobile tech. All these law suits could slow them down a little in development.
