Rambus CEO insults Intel

As Andrew Thomas of The Register puts it, "California's leading law firm, Rambus, Rambus and Rambus, is spoiling for a fight with Intel." Thomas reports on several recent interviews with Rambus Inc. CEO Geoff Tate in which Tate seems to impugn the ability of Intel Corp. to design a proper chipset. In another, Tate denies that he is a lawyer.

In a related matter, Intel Corp. CEO Craig Barrett told Bloomberg News that the Pentium 4 is the "undisputed king of microprocessors".
