You say Intel licensed "some" intellectual property... I believe AMD licensed the 80286 from Intel as a whole.
Certainly there are several levels of "design" (package, carrier, layout, etc...) but I think lots of folks think of "instruction set & processing architecture" when referring to designing a chip family, like the 286. So perhaps the fab/layout is an AMD design, but Intel "designed" the 286 that AMD licensed... -sc > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ben Scott > Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 8:29 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Nostalgia > > On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 1:12 AM, Crawford, Scott <[email protected]> > wrote: > > it also has intel at the bottom.
