Re: Hint: The "equally efficient competitor" is not AMD. You got that right.

Actually, what's pathetic is that both you and Intel don't seem to understand the concept of an "equally efficient competitor." If you knew any better you'd have said so. That's what's pathetic.

re: "While a monopolist's prices could be above the marginal short term cost of producing an additional unit, they may be below an equally efficient competitor's long term costs of staying in business" I, like you, believe AMD will show that the Intel's monopoly prices are below what AMD's cost would have been if it had Intel's cost structure, not AMD's cost structure. It eliminates any need to prove that AMD is as efficient as Intel. But, ssshhhhh, don't tell the Intel legal team that's spinning the midnight oil trying to prove AMD's inefficiency. Petz
