Re: Because it shows that the effect of Intel's rebates tilt the playing field so much that a competitor literally can't even give their product away.

You've already jumped to conclusions. It has to be proven that HP didn't accept AMD processors for free *because* of Intel's rebates. It seems just as likely that market demand wasn't there, and HP didn't want to deal with the costs of a warehouse full of inventory for chips that weren't expected to sell. You know very well that the OEMs judge demand in advance, and they buy only to fill that judged demand.
