Apparently you are not aware that "Meet Comp" stands for meet competition. The "Meet Comp" process begins when the buyer says: "Hey, AMD is giving me a better deal." Intel responds by giving the buyer a new offer with a lower price and perhaps better terms to match the AMD offer. The competition can continue through more than one round until someone wins the order. In the Lenova case in the email, competition worked; Lenova achieved lower costs and one of the two competitors -- Intel -- won the business and the other -- AMD -- lost. The "Meet Comp" process is a legal safe harbor to defeat legal claims from a sore loser, like AMD. Every time the NFL plays a game on Sunday, one team wins and one team loses. The only thing the losers get is "nice try guys" and a chance to win the next game. AMD deserves no better and neither does Intel on the occasions when Intel loses a sale competing with AMD at HP, Dell or some other buyer.
