Old articles, but maybe AMD needs to start a "AMD inside" program? zdnet.com "Still another challenge is Intel's marketing muscle. For example, Intel, of Santa Clara, Calif., has offered hard-to-ignore incentives, namely the Intel Inside program. The program reimburses OEMs up to 66 percent of their advertising budgets if they follow program guidelines. For PC makers with large volumes, the program can save them millions of dollars in advertising costs." sjmercury.com "In his April ruling in a suit filed by Intergraph Computer Corp. against Intel, federal Judge Edwin Nelson also took a dim view. The ''Intel Inside'' program ''reinforces and magnifies Intel's monopoly power,'' he wrote. Intel won't comment on the specifics of Nelson's ruling or competitors' charges, but has defended ''Intel Inside'' as no different in concept or execution from co-op funds run by Coca-Cola or General Motors." Sorry if these points have been discussed before. Gateway and DELL does get a lot of TV time lately. Still digging for scraps........
