Graphisguru: Damages can be awarded dozens of years after the fact. Necessary given our slow legal system. Plus it doesn't matter where the CPUs are made, just where they were sold. Plenty of that here in the US. Just try that argument that persons born in Russia can kill persoons born in China on US soil and they wouldn't be put into a US prison. Besides, EU end customers were harmed by not having competition to drive down the costs and up the performance. Having to use hot slow P4s instead of cool fast K7s and K8s is a harm no matter where they were made. Further, a single act later can make the entire period possible for damages. From a decision about a bid rigging case from 1977 to 1988 started in 1993, For statute of limitations purposes, a bid-rigging conspiracy continues "until either the final payments are received under the illegal contract or the final distribution of illicit profits among the co-conspirators occurs. So if Intel injured AMD by paying out any cash after 2001, AMD can recover for the entire period of this ongoing antitrust suit. Plainly Intel was paying "marketing funds" much later than 2001. Pete
