OPTi Sues AMD

malware · Nov 18, 2006

US chip-related intellectual property company OPTi has accused AMD of infringing three of its patents, all centring on techniques microprocessors can use to predict cache memory access requirements. OPTi's lawsuit, filed with the US District Court for the Eastern Texas, claims AMD is shipping CPUs that use such techniques and that AMD does so without its permission. It also claimed AMD "induced" other companies to infringe the patents too - in other words, by selling allegedly infringing processors to its customers. The three patents at issue are US patents 5,710,906, 5,813,036 and 6,405,291, all entitled "Predictive Snooping of Cache Memory for Master-Initiated Accesses". The first two patents were awarded in 1998, the third in 2002. The later patents represent continuations of the first one. OPTi wants a jury trial, it said, and will ask the court to ban the sale of the AMD chips it claims infringe its patents and award damages.

Canuto · Nov 18, 2006

LOL, right to the point.

AMD isn't good and intel ain't bad they're both the same... IMO

EastCoasthandle · Nov 18, 2006

Well Nvidia already got burnt. Aren't they close buds with AMD?

InfDamarvel · Nov 18, 2006

Lol...XD, I know intel is screamin "GO OPTI" And Nividia is all like "MUAHAhahahAHHAhah!"

WTF..... What's your problem with AMD?

GLD · Nov 18, 2006

WDF? WDF is up the bums of that OPTi company? Never heard of them before. They must just go around and think up things and get patents and then wait until someone else thinks up the same shite and sues them. If that is OPTi's mo them shame on them and I hope they get nothing and have to return and other shady gotten gains.

Oh check out the source link and read about the suit against Nvidia. It does seem this OPTi company is nothing anymore except vultures.

I like Intel processors, but I hate Intel for selling out to that bitch of a company, Apple.

Seany1212 · Nov 18, 2006

Sue casheti in accordance to patent 89,666,010 (made up like all the rest) he has infringed the law for slagging off AMD :roll:

EastCoasthandle · Nov 18, 2006

AMD wants to be known for their chipsets and video cards inwhich they have no knowledge or R&D for. Maybe this will bring them back to earth as to who they really are! Better yet what their R&D department consists of!
