You've made it clear that you don't think Intel broke the law. But, irrespective of whether it is legal or not, do you think Intel should be allowed to:

1. Estimate the quarterly computer sales of an OEM, N
2. Grant a 10% rebate on the entire quarterly purchase of CPUs, but ONLY if the OEM buys a total of at least 0.9*N CPUs from Intel in that quarter.

If it is two weeks before the end of the quarter and the OEM has already bought 0.8*N CPUs from Intel at an average price of $150, and 0.1*N CPUs from AMD at an average price of $100.

How much will it cost them to buy 0.1*N more CPUs from AMD?

How much will it cost them to buy 0.1*N more CPUs from Intel?

Do you honestly think this SHOULD be legal?
