The patent document is
here.
I looked at it briefly. It appears that the patent is focused on implementing this in the chipset rather than the CPU itself.
Interesting to note that a patent attorney appears to have used a spell checker, and replaced the word "quartz" (as in "quartz crystal") with the word "quart" throughout the document.
Hmm. Anyone want to file the same patent application with "quartz" spelled correctly, and see if they can get royalties out of Intel, if Intel tries to implement this with a quartz crystal?
