[00:03.09] | is to pay its main rival, AMD, |
[00:04.95] | one and a quarter billion dollars |
[00:06.92] | to settle a long running anti-trust and patent dispute. |
[00:09.89] | In return, AMD will drop all its lawsuits against Intel. |
[00:13.55] | Mark Gregory reports. |
[00:15.79] | By reaching a settlement now, |
[00:17.23] | the two sides avoid uncertainty over the outcome of |
[00:20.46] | the trial and millions of dollars of legal costs. |
[00:23.49] | The deal is a particular relief to AMD’s investors. |
[00:27.69] | The company’s finance is being strained by |
[00:30.10] | the unequal battle with Intel. |
