Hey, Scummy,
If you know so much about the intent of the AT laws you should write a book. No one else knows the intent, which is why we have so many interesting cases.
If you (or anyone can prove) that Intel is trying to destroy AMD to obtain or preserve a monopoly, you could make some money by buying even more AMD stock and suing, or at least suggesting to Jerry that he launch a private AT suit against Intel. Why do you suppose he doesn't sue -- triple damages, cost of suit, and reasonable attorney's fees -- if you win.
I do think you facts are screwy. I understand Intel pays the percentage of the cost of the ad that represents the Intel display.
I also understand that AMD undercuts Intel prices and Intel lowers it price to meet. The right to match price cuts (regardless of cost of production) or comparable goods is guaranteed in the price discrimination laws and cases. It's called competition, and that's what the AT laws are intended to preserve (according to the SC) not competitors (especially incompetent ones like AMD).
