I have been trying to figure out if Cell technology infringes on our patents...for obvious reasons. I have corresponded with engineers at both Intel and AMD and unfortunately have yet to come up with anything significant to report. So, I figured I would ask Mr. Turley (see below).
My question to you is....is his response adequate? I see board members comment all the time. In my mind, if he felt that Cell technology did infringe on one of the three patents...he could say so without compromise. Your thoughts?
Mr. -----
Thanks for writing. Because I also serve on Patriot`s board of directors I can`t really comment on the firm.

Subject: Question for Mr. Turley
Mr. Turley,
I very much enjoy reading and learning about the technology industry from your web portal, silicon_insider.com. I especially enjoyed reading your article about Cell Technology, which seems to be the way of the future for the microprocessor industry.
http://www.silicon-insider.com/si/Issue23/Issue23web.htm
I have also been following Patriot Scientific and the patent infringement litigation taking place, which in my opinion, is so momentous in nature, that either way, could turn out to be a topic covered in course lectures for years to come in both legal and technology classrooms.
My question is, in your opinion, does the ``Cell Technology`` infringe on any of the three patents, ``Clocking CPU and I/O Separately``, ``Use of Multiple Cores and Embedded Memory``, ``Multiple Instruction Fetch``, or is Cell Technology so radically different that it completely redefines how microprocessors are produced.
Your thoughts and insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and take care.
Respectfully,
-------------
