Scumbria: No, anti-trust law does not work like that. Using profits from products one "market" to subsidize products in that same "market" is perfectly legal. The government or AMD would have to claim that PII and Xeon (or whatever Intel's profits are coming from) compete in a separate market in which Intel owns a monopoly, and that Intel is using those profits to subsidize selling a product in a DIFFERENT market below cost, with the intention of driving competitors out of that different market. In other words, using a monopoly in one market to leverage anti-competitive behavior in another market. According to well established law, a monopoly in and of itself is not illegal, nor is selling a product below cost. -Ritz
