AMD and Intel Settle All Antitrust and IP Disputes

Mylo — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:52:37 +0000

Intel and AMD today announced a comprehensive agreement to end all outstanding legal disputes between the companies, including antitrust litigation and patent cross license disputes.
In a joint statement the two companies commented, “While the relationship between the two companies has been difficult in the past, this agreement ends the legal disputes and enables the companies to focus all of our efforts on product innovation and development.”
Under terms of the agreement, AMD and Intel obtain patent rights from a new 5-year cross license agreement, Intel and AMD will give up any claims of breach from the previous license agreement, and Intel will pay AMD $1.25 billion. Intel has also agreed to abide by a set of business practice provisions. As a result, AMD will drop all pending litigation including the case in U.S. District Court in Delaware and two cases pending in Japan. AMD will also withdraw all of its regulatory complaints worldwide. The agreement will be made public in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

AMD Media and Analyst Conference Call Transcript – Remarks from AMD President and Chief Executive Officer Dirk Meyer

Dirk: Good day everyone … and thank you for joining us. For the past few years, we have been very open in outlining the major steps in AMD’s transformation into a processing powerhouse:
• From the acquisition of ATI Technologies;
• To the formation of GLOBALFOUNDRIES; and
• The creation of AMD-The Product Company,
o with a single business unit,
o a reinvigorated roadmap,
o a new business model,
o And a close relationship with a world-class leadingedge foundry.

Today, I am pleased to announce the last major component of that transformation – in the form of a transparent and public agreement with Intel to create a level playing field in the x86 processor industry – taking us one big step closer to achieving our bold vision. There are three key components to the agreement:
• First, Intel has agreed to an important set of ground rules that we hope will define the path to a free and open market in the microprocessor industry;
• Second, we have agreed to a new patent cross-license agreement that gives AMD broad rights and the freedom to operate a business utilizing multiple foundries,
• And third, GLOBALFOUNDRIES has agreed to terms that allow them the freedom to operate as an independent world-class leading-edge foundry company, going forward, without being a subsidiary of AMD.
In addition, Intel has agreed to pay AMD $1.25 billion.

Today marks the beginning of a new era… one that confirms that the game has changed for AMD. It is an important milestone for us, for our customers, our partners, and most important – for consumers and businesses worldwide. In addition, it represents the culmination many years of litigation and regulatory engagement. And we are optimistic that it will usher a new era for our industry.
We recognize that it will take time for people to understand how the operating conditions in processor business have changed – but make no mistake – they have changed. I would like to thank the regulatory agencies around the world for their diligence and consistency. Their work has enabled us to achieve this milestone. We are optimistic they will continue their vigilance in maintaining a fair playing field, especially with
respect to pricing practices in our industry.

Looking forward three keys to our continued success:
- Compelling offerings;
- Access to customers,
- And a winning business model.
We are confident this agreement will remove any concerns about customer access and our business model.
We look forward to healthy competition with the mutual respect one would expect between world-class competitors.

HP’s 11.6-inch Pavilion DM1 gets unboxed on video

Mylo — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:26:36 +0000

HP’s Pavilion DM1 has been floating around for a few weeks now in various corners of the globe, but now it seems as if the CULV-based machine is splashing down in at least a few lairs. Sporting an 11.6-inch display, a built-in 3G SIM card slot and Windows 7, this thing looks an awful lot like the Mini 311 (and for good reason). Granted, we’re still waiting for it to ship here in North America, but if you’re too impatient to just wait things out, an unboxing video is posted up just past the break for your enjoyment.

HP Envy 15 unboxing and hands-on

Mylo — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:23:53 +0000

After our mixed feelings on the HP Envy 13, we were excited but also a little bit scared to see the 13’s big brother, the Envy 15. It’s running a Core i7 processor clocked at 1.6GHz, and has 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4830 discrete graphics fronted by a 1920 x 1080 15.6-inch display despite the fact that it doesn’t have a built-in disc drive. Luckily there’s an external Blu-ray packed into the box (that’s a $225 option on top of the $1,800 base price), but most games and apps these days are available via download anyway, so it’s not that big of knock on your power-user cred. The unboxing experience is actually identical to that of the Envy 13 (quite elegant), and we were happy to see that when we fired up the laptop the trackpad seemed better configured than that of the pre-update Envy 13 we reviewed. We were less enthused to see that the IE comes pre-installed with HP and Norton toolbars — pretty janky for a premium machine — but luckily we rarely have to see the ugly sight of IE more than once on a new machine. For the most part this is just an Envy 13 bigged up, and that’s nothing to complain about.
