Intel je povodom 39. rođendana x86 arhitekture zaprijetio Microsoftu i Qualcommu da je x86 emulacija na ARM čipovima zapravo patentno minsko polje :) Ne, ne, ne može MS samo tako naći novog prijatelja, a Intela otkantat. Bit će zanimljivo vidjeti hoće li na kraju Intel zarađivati više od ARM-a nego od svoje x86-ice. Nešto kao MS od Androida

Intel:
However, there have been reports that some companies may try to emulate Intel’s proprietary x86 ISA without Intel’s authorization. Emulation is not a new technology, and Transmeta was notably the last company to claim to have produced a compatible x86 processor using emulation (“code morphing”) techniques. Intel enforced patents relating to SIMD instruction set enhancements against Transmeta’s x86 implementation even though it used emulation. In any event, Transmeta was not commercially successful, and it exited the microprocessor business 10 years ago.
