AMD already had a patent license from the time when they did the AMD64 emulator deal with Transmeta so it didn't need to buy a patent license.
Transmeta has a patent suit pending against Intel and has almost no cash left to run a very expensive patent lawsuit that is probably costing $2 million plus a year to run. It is quite ppossible that the investment is intended to provide cash for Transmeta to pursue its patent law suit against Intel.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Here is some cash go make war on Intel.
