If someone buys AMD, Intel CAN recall the license
The contract will expire on the January 1st 2011 and AMD has agreed to renegotiate the contract one year before the expiry. You can easily say that these talks will take place in 2010.
The contract strongly suggests that no company can buy AMD or to be more precise, no company could buy more than 50 percent of AMD.
Terrifying :). FUD guys should know what the native 4 core is (see the pict below). Obviously, the finding relates only about the licence use of Intel's BUS. However, until the 2011 , AMD will completely abandon Intel's old stupid congested bus in favor of their own HT communication technology. So, if AMD would be sold by then, Intel might only pull off its licence for the dead bus technology.
