CJ, > The AMD parts in question didn't suck.

It would have sucked if the OEM had to break existing contracts just to make room for CPUs that AMD dumped onto them. Or flood the market with computers built with "free" CPUs.

There's always barriers to entry. The advantage has to be good enough to overcome the barriers. AMD did it all on their own, yet the EU thinks AMD could have done it faster and in a more profitable manner without Intel's oh-so-monopolistic behavior.

In the meantime, dumping one million CPUs that no one else wanted is the fault of the supplier, not the competitor.
