Re: "For an Intel VP to say publicly that they will "crush" AMD, this is clearly an issue for anti-trust investigation. Together with what could appear as predatory pricing on their part, I strongly believe there is evidence for anti-trust activity."

Perhaps you live in a world of cooperative competition, kind of like the "Care Bears" cartoon series a while back. In the real world companies compete to win. Perhaps in the Peoples Republic hard nosed competition is illegal but not here. As for predatory pricing, have you made a long distance phone call lately? Traded stock through a discount broker? Bought a cell phone contract? etc etc? It's everywhere. AMD started a price war by positioning themselves 25% below Intel equivalents and it's not Intel's fault if AMD can't get their manufacturing costs down.
