I read the the other links, and these links explicitly stated that the issue in the 3M/LePage case was the multi product bundle, forcing pricing below Equally Efficient Competitor. Actually, the criticisms of the LePage's v. 3M judgment were that it had no reliance on any below-cost test that could help guide the behavior of other companies in similar circumstances. AMD is asking the court to extend the Third Circuit Decision to the Intel/AMD case even in the absence of a multi-product bundle, by arguing that Intel/AMD case is equivalent. How ??? Because the Intel pricing is not allowing AMD to compete ! YES!! EXACTLY!!!!111!! AMD is claiming Intel's rebates are exclusionary and anti-competitive!!!1! IMHO that is a ridiculous demand. Isnt AMD saying that Intel cannot price its products below AMD's marginal cost ? YE... NO!1!1! AMD is saying that Intel's rebates, after applying the "discount attribution standard" (and other standards too), result in prices for contested products that are below Intel's own average variable cost. HAVEN'T WE BEEN GOING OVER THE EQUALLY EFFICIENT COMPETITOR CONCEPT FOR LIKE, TWO DAYS NOW?!?!11?!? The rest of your blather about AMD's costs, quotas, etc. is all very thinly packed strawman... fpg
