jh, since you were so civil (I mean that sincerely), Your statement was "Intel pleaded no contest." Pleading no contest has the same result as guilty of what the prosecution charges. Aside from the point that there was no prosecution and no trial, there is another important distinction. If Intel had been found guilty (whether from no contest, or full trial), the conviction could be used by AMD in a civil suit to press for damages, with fault already established. AMD wouldn't need to show anything other than extent of injury, and ask for triple damages. But that is not what happened. AMD now still has to prove that a violation occurred.
