3+ years of R&D and 7+ years of royalties with MS projecting 30%+ higher sales over this generation. Yup $3b sounds about right, if not a little on the low side. Not really gonna mean much for AMD's bottom line tho sadly.

i couldn't quite figure the article out exactly.  is MS on the hook for $3B?  ..as in if by some change xbone sells 10 units total do they still owe AMD the 3B?  or is the $3B based on sales projections?

It's not explicit, but i'd guess it's a projection since he says it "could" be worth 3 Billion.

I'd bet he's talking about the possibility of Xbone being in a ton of non gamer living rooms.
