Elmo, given Intel's criminal behavior, evidently something slipped by Legal.

Elmer, I can recall the Intel Faithful accounting for the reason that Intel didn't put AMD out of its misery: ~"keep em around to avoid monopoly status". I wouldn't doubt there may have been some truth, to that effect, at some juncture. But, since K7 and particularly K8 Intel has gone commando to hold MSS in a historic range. AMD's past problems were not all Intel's doing. Intel may have been a benevolent monopoly at least in some context, ca K5. Today, they may be over the line. Given the excellence of AMD's products, it becomes a much weightier matter to thwart progress.
