So what's the big deal? I'm on my 4th startup. The use of whatever solution works regardless of patent infringement, and letting the infringed party figure it out and come after you, is the norm in Silicon Valley.
This patent sounds like "we used historic data as a guide to future behaviour". REAL scientists call this using experimental results (including null ones) to form a hypothesis and it is so far from being novel that you ought to get your bollocks roasted for even *trying* to patent the idea.
Opteron (Barcelona) the better chip? so where is it?

stealing techs from competitor. hmmm, the Core 2 Duo has long been using 128-bit internal data paths and Barcelona (as well as phenom) just adopted it. L3 cache? this is old intel server technology. and many more here:
Ummm you are sort of right but WARF is from the University of Wisconsin. (This sort of hints WHERE they are at!) As they are a part of the STATE OF WISCONSIN, they are subject to the State of Wisconsin laws. Taking this to court in Texas would be like the UK taking someone to a court in France - won't happen.
Just buy them off, Intel. A year on, and Core2 is still demolishing the desktop market, and the core-derrived Xeons aren't doing too bad either. Don't let anything rain on your (For once, well-deserved) parade.
besides, if you have to stop selling Core2's, you may be forced into desktop Itanic.

Poor Intel. I don't think I'd like to argue with a Klingon.

I'm slow I guess.
Just figured out how Intel works.
1. See competitor with better chip (Opteron)
2. Steal tech from others to crush competitor.
3. Pay a tiny % of total intake to resolve #2
4. Hold huge percentage of market, with little or no real penalty (when looking at the overall big picture).
I'm not anti-capitalism, but it does appear that the game is played in a fashion that, to "win" is to become a monopoly.
