Another Intel court loss:
They keep trying to cover up their crimes, but the facts are coming out, anyway.
It's just my IMHO, but when the dust settles I expect a $10 Billion Award from Intel to AMD that will be reduced on appeal to about $3 Billion (which is a large part of AMD's direct losses attributable to Intel's use of extortion to exclude AMD from markets thereby reducing AMD's average selling prices for equivalent products). Intel's first bond issue raised almost half of what they'll likely end up paying to AMD. Again, IMHO only.
Intel's strategy of delaying the US case means AMD's US case will begin hearings shortly after an Intel conviction in Japan.
