Before he had left AMD, Simonson had writhed in agony as the AMD chairman told an invited group of securities analysts visiting from New York what a great deal it had been, and how foolish Intel had been to sign it. Simonsen had tried a number of times to warn Sanders not to shoot his mouth off. 'Say we're successful, by all means. Tell them whatever you want about how good the company is. But you don't need to continually address this contract and rub Grove's nose it it.' Why would he do this to a guy who came to America after throwing Molotov cocktails in front of Russian tanks in Budapest?' recalled Skornia. 'Andy Grove must have picked up the trade press, read about those remarks, and said 'That's it.' It's clear that [the relationship] went downhill from there. It was clearly a tremendously imprudent thing to do. But [Sanders] just had to crow about the fact that he had a bigger market share and Intel was the 'inventor'"
