Remember the advice of "How to read a patent in 60 seconds" [0]. In this case there are two very short independent claims (1 and 3), all the way at the last page. They both seem to just be talking of some specifics on cache coherency. [0] https://www.danshapiro.com/blog/2010/09/how-to-read-a-patent...

It looks suspicious because they reproduced the diagrams using what looks like a fucking typewriter.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The “NAL” statement wasn’t necessary: it was totally obvious the moment you wrote “definitely.” There’s a 99.999% certainty that this non-issue will NOT result in a lawsuit.

Gonna NAL anytime it comes to such subjects. ;) Amazon has a full team of patent lawyers on retainer just to submit a patent.

It turns out that this "story" was intentional misdirection, posted to test how tech information is misinterpreted and spread. Intel has not patented something of AMD's design.
