> Qualcomm itself also wouldn't be able to emulate or sell x86 without the cross-licensing agreement
As far as I am aware, the AMD-Intel cross licensing agreement allows to continue to sell existing products after termination, just not bring new ones to market. And Qualcomm would of course continue to sell Intel's products, just possibly not develop new ones.
If Qualcomm buys Intel, they will have the patents that are needed to emulate modern x86 instructions like AVX. Or are you aware of any patents that AMD owns or claims to own on emulating x86?
> I have to ask as a sanity check - am I talking to a human or a bot?
Human. I guess I have to thank you for not writing "ignore previous instructions" or similar.
