Less than 48 hours after having released officially its new Xeon Nehalem, Intel is sued by a company named SiCortex which claims that Santa Clara's giant is using some of its technologies without owning any licenses. The patent infringement would be related to technologies developed to decrease the power consumption of CPU. The new Xeon is able to manage the power consumption in function of the load or requirements, decreasing or stopping totally parts of its transistors to reduce power consumption and decrease heat release.  
Intel did not really react yet to this announcement, indicating simply that such advanced power management technology was part of features defined for the new Xeon Nehalem already from its first draft.
