I don't know Scumbria.

Looks to me that anti trust is much tougher to prove than RICO.<vbg> And even if it weren't, why not do the deal with VIA's cpu division and let AMD twist in the breeze?

So, Intel establishes the X86 market, upon which AMD relies for the great majority of their business. The last profitable products AMD had before X86 were, what, 2900 bit slice chips or something? Intel was the pioneer, doing all the legwork and AMD comes in and does a decent business under the X86 umbrella. Intel even got them in the business because they wanted a second source. So, how come so many AMD types hate Intel? Bite off the hand that feeds you fits well here.

Intel has two choices:

1. Cross-license AMD.

or

2. Get prosecuted for antitrust, with a near 100% probability of losing.


Didn't we just elect George W. Bush to get rid of this moronic government behavior.

Anti-trust is 19th century politics
