Or, obviously, AMD's suit was aimed at bullying PC makers into giving AMD some get-in-the-door business. Then AMD's plan was to try to keep the business with good products and economies of scale.

They got step one (in the door) with their suits, publicity, whining, etc.... But the follow-up failed.

That is the explanation of why AMD is not shy about annoying customers with subpaena (sp). They thought somehow if they just get in the door, their goodness will shine, and they will get their 30%, then 50%, etc....

I don't think AMD expects to win a dime from the suit. It has already accomplished its purpose. But the rest of the plan fell apart.

Apple does appear to have received preferential
treatment from Intel: early availability of
low-volume parts, surprisingly low pricing etc.
There have been Apple machines that sell for less
than comparable Dell models. We know that Apple
has higher expenses. The most logical explanation
is more attractive CPU pricing going to Apple, and
obviously not the result of a higher volume of business.
