Herb, These are two different stories.
One is directed against Via and is recent, the other is old news.
I have no quarrel against Intel policing re-branded chips. The trouble is that chips can be re-branded so well by good counterfeiters that they look like genuine parts and they wokr like genuin parts as Intel for a time was forced to sell high speed parts as low speed because their bin splits were making very good fast parts. That meant that they had to undermark fast chips and sell them as slow parts to avoid losing that share to AMD.
Now if the parts are truly fast parts that Intel falsely marked as slow parts, then who is the counterfeiter?
