AMD's x86 license set to expire in 48 hours?

Almost two months ago, we witnessed to the open war of words between AMD and Intel, ending in Intel's press release citing that AMD's split to AMD and GlobalFoundries will lead to termination of AMD's x86 license. Wording was not exactly what you could say, "in gloves"

Won't happen. If Intel doesn't want to see a "real antitrust case" that is. Right now they're still investigating, you can bet your @$$ that terminating any liscense sharing (they both cross license) will cause some serious complications for intel, period.
