The previous event for analysts, conducted by AMD, did not give any of them a chance to ask about rumors about plans for licensing the graphics subsystem for its use in Intel processors. But such an opportunity appeared at the leading event JPMorgan, which was attended by Lisa Su.
The head of AMD started the response with the duty phrase on the lack of tradition to comment on any rumors about possible transactions with any companies. Lisa Su explained that AMD's strongest developments are related to CPUs and graphics solutions. They need the company to create competitive products, and to protect their intellectual property rights AMD is ready resolutely and uncompromisingly. The company is ready to sell patents only if they describe products and technologies that are no longer in demand by AMD itself. The company is ready to approach the licensing of technologies very selectively - it does not have to be the second ARM or Imagination . And if AMD goes to a new deal on licensing, then only in the sphere that will allow it to indirectly increase the market share in the new segment.
To summarize her comment, Lisa Su has decided that AMD does not want to provide the competitor with additional opportunities to compete with its own products. This can be regarded as a partial denial of rumors about the preparation of a deal with Intel.
