Intel Loses CPU Patent Lawsuit And Is Ordered To Pay This Firm Nearly $1 Billion
Intel is on the hook for a massive $948.8 million judgement after a federal jury in Texas decided it infringed on a key patent held by VLSI Technology, a silicon valley firm that designs and manufacturers custom and semi-custom integrated circuits. It's the latest showdown in what's become an ongoing saga between Intel and VLSI, with the two having faced off in trial three times since last year.
At issue is US Patent 7,606,983 for "sequential ordering of transactions in digital systems with multiple requestors." It essentially boils down to, in part, how a CPU processes data and keeps the information flowing from memory.
