Re: You don't think if AMD vanished Intel would milk every dollar out of every chip the make and slow down the pace technological advances? Yes to the first part, and no to the second. Slowing technology advances would hurt their sales, even in the absence of AMD, because most of their margins come from mature markets whose purchases are tied to a certain beat rate of innovation. If Intel slows down, they will lose sales. Re: You earlier posts talk about the benefits of a monopoly. Heck, Intel is taking the position that they are a beneficial monopoly. It seems to be a reasonable defense in the case of Intel. Maybe the court will feel otherwise. People here certainly do, but I am not stating an opinion on that right now. I am arguing whether Intel is a monopoly that is harmful to consumers, not whether Intel could be a harmful monopoly in the absence of AMD.
