Fixed.

To AMD, anything that hurts them is "predatory" and "price discrimination."

Their complaint about Intel's optimized compiler is a perfect example. OMG, Intel optimizes their compilers for Intel CPUs! That damn monopoly! (No need to repeat AMD's claim that the compiler "de-optimizes" for AMD processors.)

Anyway, we've come a long way from the notion that Intel's market power adds $14.89 to each PC. Now we're discussing how Intel structured its rebates.

Which, of course, are good for the consumer ... :-P
