If true, this lends credence to the "first dollar" rebate scheme. No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. What's the rebate for, if the unit target is 100% of Lenovo's expected output? The 101st percent? Let me guess, only a small fraction of the $100M is for rebate, just for those incremental processors, and the rest is advertising subsidy. Right? Yeah, right. "AMD also has a similar program. Everyone is trying to incentivize their clients." LOL. AMD is paying Lenovo rebates on the order of a 100 million dollars annually if they buy ~100% AMD processors? Get real. Go find me some numbers re: "AMD's similar program", rather than a ridiculous statement from an Intel mouthpiece. You're way beyond cheerleading for Intel's technology now. fpg
