Re: "Paying an "industry analyst" a fee to knock a competitor's product is just the latest example. Misleading FUD papers and "seminars" just compound the matter." Which is _exactly_ what TeamDDR has been doing to Rambus for the last two plus years... My God...the hypocrisy !

Jozef, "Paying an "industry analyst" a fee to knock a competitor's product is just the latest example. Misleading FUD papers and "seminars" just compound the matter. I don't understand why Intel feels the need to hit below the belt, even when they are winning, and there is no need to do so." Tcmay already gave you the answer - to crush AMD. Currently AMD is the biggest roadblock for Intel to remain a monopoly. Without monopolistic pricing, Intel does not seem to be capable of sustaining operations for long. AMD is the blood sucker and the solo reason of all Intel's problems, mostly because they were forced to release products prematurely. It looks like somebody at Intel made some estimates and projections, and the result was not good. Therefore, the only way for Intel is to crush AMD, like tcmay is bragging about. Given historical data of Intel behavior, expect much broader and ruthless campaign of similar lies and baloney. Nobody knows how many have been paid, they are just waiting for carefully orchestrated sign to sling the dirt. I wonder, what is the codename of this operation today? "Demolition"? - Ali

I don't understand why Intel feels the need to hit below the belt, even when they are winning, and there is no need to do so. The only explanation I can think of is that the executives, the culture at top of Intel management is to be sleazballs. It probably can be likened to a mob mentality. Alone, most low life sleaze balls feel some sense of social pressure to behave. But... put them together in a group and voila...you've got Intel. Maybe one of Grove's enduring legacies. Anybody here read Inside Intel?? How does Grove come across in that book? THE WATSONYOUTH
