[00:00.26] | The world’s largest maker of microchips, Intel, |
[00:03.09] | is to pay its main rival, AMD, |
[00:04.95] | one and a quarter billion dollars |
[00:06.92] | to settle a long running anti-trust and patent dispute. |
[00:09.89] | In return, AMD will drop all its lawsuits against Intel. |
[00:13.55] | Mark Gregory reports. |
[00:15.79] | By reaching a settlement now, |
[00:17.23] | the two sides avoid uncertainty over the outcome of |
[00:20.46] | the trial and millions of dollars of legal costs. |
[00:23.49] | The deal is a particular relief to AMD’s investors. |
[00:27.69] | The company’s finance is being strained by |
[00:30.10] | the unequal battle with Intel. |
[00:32.20] | AMD shares rose nearly a third |
[00:34.42] | in value on news of the deal, |
[00:36.85] | but there are also advantages for Intel |
[00:39.07] | which’s facing multiple investigations |
[00:41.67] | into its business practices |
[00:43.40] | along with several lawsuits by regulators |
[00:46.31] | in the US, Europe and Asia. |

[00:00.26] | 世界上最大的芯片生产厂商英特尔 |
[00:03.09] | 将要向其最大的竞争对手——AMD支付 |
[00:04.95] | 12.5亿美元 【下一行“trust”在本文中不是信托】 |
[00:06.92] | 以平息长期以来的反垄断和专利纠纷 |
[00:09.89] | 作为回应,AMD将会放弃其针对英特尔的所有诉讼 |
[00:13.55] | ——来自Mark Gregory 的报道 |
[00:15.79] | 通过现今达成协议, |
[00:17.23] | 双方避免了诉讼结果的不确定性 |
[00:20.46] | 以及上亿美元的诉讼费用 |
[00:23.49] | 这一交易对AMD的投资者们来说实在是一种解脱 |
[00:27.69] | 由于面对英特尔的不公平竞争, |
[00:30.10] | AMD的财务状况一直是捉襟见肘 |
[00:32.20] | 受此交易消息的影响, |
[00:34.42] | AMD的股价上涨了将近三分之一 |
[00:36.85] | 但对于面临多项针对其商业行为的调查, |
[00:39.07] | 以及来自美国、欧洲和亚洲的 |
[00:41.67] | 监管者们的一系列诉讼 |
[00:43.40] | 的英特尔来说, |
[00:46.31] | 其实还是存在有利条件的 |
