Well, I'm shocked.

AMD, Intel Settle Antitrust Disputes; Intel to Pay AMD $1.25 Bln - Bloomberg.com

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.

AMD is up 28% in pre-market trading.

Kiss and make up? Looks more like a divorce settlement.

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

nVidia must be the red headed step child that neither of them want.

Sad that their payoff is about the same as their quarterly revenues, and doesn't even make up for how much they've lost over the last year.

I just want you to know that as a red-headed stepchild, I am deeply hurt by this post.
