Did Nvidia get the rights to CMS? I thought Nvidia got some power management stuff but Intel got the rest of it

They were going to have their cores be able to run both ARM and x86 binaries but IIRC patent issues with Intel prevented them from doing both so they just went with ARM. Whether you need the x86 patents to run have a Transmeta style processor running x86 might be something that can only be settled by going to court.
