SAN JOSE, Calif., April 4 /PRNewswire/ -- 3dfx Interactive(R) Inc. TDFX , a global leader in developing and marketing 3D technology for personal computers, today announced that the company has entered into a mutual patent cross-licensing agreement with Intel Corporation. As part of the agreement, 3dfx and Intel have amicably agreed to dismiss all pending patent infringement lawsuits between 3dfx and Real 3D. Intel acquired Real 3D's technology portfolio last year.
