>> Obviously Intel is pricing well above their own LTSAP, because it's been decades since Intel posted a loss.

The EC complaint, and FPG's point, is that occasionally, to win a deal that AMD is also competing for, Intel sells a batch of processors below Intel's long term avg total cost. The batch is limited, and the allegation is not that Intel is selling its entire product line below avg total cost.

When there is other evidence that it is part of a plan to drive out a competitor from that market, that pricing is illegal in the EU.

Of course Intel will say, it is making a profit on these sales, and that is its motive, and it couldn't care less how much or little AMD is selling in the market. When Intel has a batch of processor-making capacity, it tries to sell it at a profit, period.
