This is the Markman finding.
<The specification and prosecution history refer to the fact that operands in the instruction register must be right justified. The applicants, however, did not exclude a single 32-bit instruction as an instruction group. In a preferred embodiment, a microprocessor fetches instructions “in 32-bit chunks called 4-byte instruction groups” where an “instruction group may contain from one to four instructions.” ‘584 patent, 23:4-5, 19:18-19. If a 4-byte (or 32-bit) instruction group contains one instruction, then the instruction group may contain a single 32-bit instruction. >
Somehow I got the impression that the single 32bit instructions exist. Do we have any tech people that can comment on that aspect? If they do exist, why do they exist, and would they be infringing? Opty
