AMD had not today been competing for with Intel for their platforms if they had not sued Intel way back and paid serious money to get their ways back then.

Likewise, anybody involved with doing business with the PC manufacturers worldwide knows quite well about Intel's practices. If AMD doesn't rattle with the sables once every 10-15 years or so, Intel rolls right over them while using methods very close to the limits of what is allowed by the various anti monopoly laws worldwide.
Some people even claim they have already over stepped those limits seriously.

Of course all of this comes down to producing hard evidence which is not easy.
Of course this also is a very costly move for AMD but on the other hand the timing couldn't have been better in Japan and Europe.
And if our Dems are right, with them at the helm 3 years from now, AMD may get quite a lift to support their case in the US as well...
