You and others keep focused on the system clock as if that was the only clock and the only microprocessor withing these products. IMO, as long as the integrated circuit meets all the requirments of a microprocessor then it can infringe on the 336.

Please read the following bit and let me know if it possible that Qualcomm's Hexagon DSP might be capable of infringing. We are not talking ARM's multicore cpu. Hexagon is a separate multiple core DSP processor within Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset.

<Look for DSPs in there too

In addition to designing custom CPUs, GPUs and modems, Qualcomm also designs its own custom DSP, which they brand as Hexagon DSPs. These processors have been an integral part of Snapdragon processors since 2006, Qualcomm just hasn’t spoken about them publicly very much, if at all.

These are serious processors which in addition to having a memory management unit, symmetric multiprocessing support and a hypervisor for increased capability, the Hexagon DSP’s used in Snapdragon S4 processors have dedicated L1 instruction and data caches, a dedicated L2 cache, and are designed using an interleaved multi-threading (IMT) architecture, meaning each thread is resourced with independent program counters and registers. The DSP is capable of running multiple applications concurrently much like a CPU and because it’s designed for ultra-low power it is well positioned for offloading specific tasks like audio, sensors, video, and imaging enhancement. >
