Chr, Re: Do you remember how much Intel paid Intergraph for some of IA64's advanced features?

$150m IIRC

There were two separate patent suits against Intel by INGR:
As an ex happy INGR stockholder, I can tell you it was indeed $ 150M. On the other patent case against Intel (clipper patents), Intel settled for $ 300 M.

I have not followed the detail of the follow trough on the PIC patents. I believe in 2002 the situation was that if Intel showed a workaround was being used they would pay $ 150 M and if they could not show that they would pay $ 250 M.
