HDMI products to get meaningful labels,

If you've caught yourself scratching your head trying to figure what type of HDMI cable to buy, you are probably not alone. With so many versions, it's hard to know which version does what. However, very soon, you won't have that trouble anymore.

In an effort to make it easier for customers to identify the right products for their needs, HDMI Licensing released Thursday, on behalf of the HDMI Founders, an updated version of the HDMI Adopted Trademark and Logo Usage Guidelines. HDMI Licensing is the agent responsible for licensing the high-definition multimedia interface specification.

The most notable changes in the guidelines are significant restrictions on the use of version numbers and new marketing requirements for cables. These new requirements are designed to simplify the product selection process for consumers, enabling them to purchase an appropriate product based on features, instead of having to do research on what each version does.

According to the new guidelines, adopters will no longer be allowed to use HDMI specification version numbers in the labeling, packaging, or promotion of their HDMI-compliant products. These restrictions go into effect immediately for cable products. Noncable products, however, have until January 1, 2012, to fully comply.

The new guidelines designate all HDMI cable products into five types:
Standard HDMI Cable
Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet
Standard Automotive HDMI Cable
High Speed HDMI Cable
High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet

The latest version of HDMI cables on the market is version 1.3. However, HDMI Licensing has also recently released the Compliance Test Specification for version 1.4 to adopters. The new version 1.4 of the HDMI standard will include several new features such as HDMI Ethernet Channel, Audio Return Channel, 3D, 4K, and Content Type.

It's unclear when it will be available to the general public, but products that support the new standard are expected to be demonstrated at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Stay tuned for CNET's coverage in January.

AMD no longer pays for x86 license, from guru3d

QUOTE(guru3d.com)

Looks like AMD certainly got a good deal with Intel. Last week we already reported that the AMD and Intel settled -- Intel will pay AMD $1.25 billion to squash a legal battle over Intel's sales tactics.

As it now seems there's more to the deal than we know. Both Intel and AMD agreed to a cross-license platfrom that is now royalty free. AMD doesn't have to pay anymore for the x86 license / patents owned by Intel and vice versa this is likely the same -- Intel doesn't have to cough up dough for the 64-bit patents owned by AMD.

It's good news for AMD as it severely cuts down overhead cost and it is allowed to continue to make x86 compatible processors.

Ahw -- perhaps they're best buds for life now
