FPG, you're mistaking my argument. I have not said that it is inconceivable that Intel is guilty. Rather, I have said that I have not seen any arguments - either here or from AMD - that says definitively that they are. Given AMD's languishing roadmap, it's much easier for me to believe that they are continuing this litigation in the miniscule hope of generating a cash settlement out of it. They've basically painted themselves into a corner, because quitting now would only result in expensive litigation fees. They are obligated to move forward, with or without a case. So their best option - and one that describes what we're seeing today - is to search through millions of documents and probe hundreds of witnesses in the hope of finding a scrap of evidence to use towards their case. In the end, it's possible that they will, and Intel will have to settle out of court, but given as how they have requested so many more times the usual orthodox number of documents and witnesses, it doesn't seem to me like they've found what they are looking for.
