I wonder whether AMD will see big gains in China now because of this. I hope so. Will bring a colossal amount of cash in

I thought Intel licensed x86 to AMD and had massive restrictions on licensing to anyone else? I recall rumours of Samsung buying AMD that were squashed because Intel would stop the licensing agreement. I'm not sure how this affects those agreements.

AMD wouldn't do it if it wasn't perfectly legal. Intel and AMD cross-license a lot of x86 IP, one turning on the other is mutually assured destruction IMHO, Intel created x86, but AMD created 64-bit, they need each other's IP.
