>> Acer sells both Intel and AMD based computers ... The majority being Intel. List from Newegg: Yes I know they do. The point is what will Korea FTC do about its own decision to impose penalties on Intel ? They (K-FTC) so far have missed their own self-defined deadline by months. The question is why ? My own speculation/wishful thinking is that they are expecting that if K-FTC imposes heavy penalties on Intel, Intel will be less inclined to do business with Korea's computer makers. And the further speculation is what harm Korea will inflict on Korean companies (Acer) through their own actions. I am very sure that Korea government knows Acer will be bankrupt in a week if Intel declines to do business in a country that it (Intel) decides has issued a malicious judgement against it. Of course the save-facing action for K-FTC is to impose a $10m fine and call it a victory, and hope no one notices. theregister.co.uk excerpt: South Korean officials have issued antitrust charges against Intel, in a move that caps a two-year investigation and creates one more headache for lawyers at the world's biggest chip maker. . . . South Korean media cited unnamed sources who said the commission would likely reach a decision on a penalty by October.
