You are living in the past, Tench. Before 2002, first dollar rebates were not recognized as monopoly abuse. Since then, they are. Intel decided to ignore the change of landscape, and they will pay the piper because of it.

Re: Where do you think the $100B comes from in the first place?

In Intel's case it came from Uncle IBM courtesy of pressure from uncle Sam.

Over the entire lifetime of the two companies, Intel has proven that it does business better than AMD. That's why Intel has tens of billions of dollars in revenue and can afford to spend a significant chunk of it on R&D, fab development, etc.


oh yeah? well it was intel holding a gun to Ruiz's head that forced him to piss aways $5billion for a bag of ATI crap.

Intel should not lock competitor's out of the market place.

Doing better business or doing business illegally? They stopped their market development in Japan. How many other markets were those policies in place? For how many years did those practices go on.

I didn't say Intel should give AMD $100 billion dollars.

One of the main points of the post was if AMD had an extra $100 billion over the years, in my opinion I think they would have developed superior chips than the ones Intel has developed so far.
