Differing categories entirely. Not to mention I don't think they registered the name or anything.

Also, it's not what Apple is selling. Kinda like how Captain Marvel is a character of both DC and Marvel comics, but only one sells under the name of "Captain Marvel"
yeah, totally
both are CPUs with integrated graphics..
Ferrari couldn't use the F150 because Ford had it first.. I don't see this as anything different

You missed the second part of my post. Probably conveniently, too. And as previously posted, they're not selling it standalone like AMD is selling theirs, so your little example there just went to hell in a handbasket.
what are you saying? the A6 branding is all over the Apple website
edit: they didnt register the name? pfft, along with thunderbolt, lightning, isight etc, the A# are all registered... what a stupid comment on your part.
They're not selling the A6 by itself. That's probably how they get around names being the same. I wonder what Cortex does though.
