Elroy, As for the 2nd question, isn't the AMD lawsuit based largely on the evidence in a Japanese lawsuit against Intel (which I assume Intel lost)? I thought it was from the conclusions or at least evidence in that case that AMD gets its proof of Intel's monopolistic, predatory behavior with the OEMs.

The JFTC came out with findings and "recommendations" (or orders, or guidelines, whatever) for Intel. Intel agreed to comply with the recommendations but disagreed with the JFTC's findings that Intel broke the law. There weren't any huge payouts because the findings came out of investigations and complaints, not lawsuits.

Of course, two days after AMD filed suit here in America, AMD Japan files suit against Intel Japan. The lawsuit is for $55 million in damages, which to me isn't that much compared to the $3 billion Tad LaFountain of Wells Fargo is predicting AMD will win in the American lawsuit.
