The most valuable thing to AMD is not a monetary award, but a change in behavior. They already got a change in behavior. That happened with AMD's patent suit. Can you give one instance of Intel questionable behavior since then? And someone on this board pointed out that AMD's market share gains began almost immediately after the suit was filed. Since the filing of the suit, all special Intel pricing is discussed with an attorney in the room. I happen to know this. But then, it should come as no surprise. Of course, a company being sued over an issue is particularly careful to be squeeky clean about that issue after while the suit is contested. And in Intel's case, they have no reason not to be squeeky clean, now that they have a superior product line. The problem for AMD is that the change in Intel's behavior was shortly followed by Core 2 Duo. And now it doesn't matter, except for a civil suit. The U.S. civil suit is complicated by the statute of limitations being up on chips made in Austin. So AMD may get nothing in the U.S., and a European civil suit won't even start for a long time . . . .
