That wasn't the topic but I'll indulge you seeing as it seems to be so important to you. I am in no way a legal expert, self anointed or otherwise, but I think it is very likely that Intel wields monopoly power, at least as defined in most jurisdictions. Being a Monopoly isn't illegal, except maybe in the EU, we'll see. I also think that in all likelihood, Intel has conducted itself as if it is a Monopoly and avoided anything that would be illegal under those conditions. Historically Intel has needed AMD around to defray scrutiny but they may be becoming too much of a pain in the *ss to prop up much longer. Tit for tat... Intel cannot raise their prices because that would open the door for AMD to increase prices and fill their fabs with a higher mix of parts. Increasing revs lead to increasing capacity, increased sales, etc. etc. etc... And the long-term-result is dimished market power for Intel. fpg
