Since when did AMD have their hand in any cookie jar ? No-one is even making that claim except you Intel employees. The guy did it all by himself without AMD's knowledge and the last ex-Intel guy who tried that with AMD was turned in straight away by AMD.

Now that AMD has been implicated, if not outright charged with a Criminal offense, I wonder if Intel will sue in Civil Court? The burden of proof is not so great in Civil Court and although there may or may not be enough evidence for an outright conviction in Criminal Court and hence no charges, at least not yet, Intel may well win in Civil Court. How may Billions do you think it will be worth? Will Intel get the Fabs? I think they'll just sell them off because they're obsolete to Intel now anyway.

Elmer was pointing out the hypocrisy of those on this thread who find conspiracies in everything Intel does, but looks the other way when AMD has its hand in the cookie jar.

Elmer (and Mahmoud, and you too) are full of it.

Nobody on the AMD side is proactively declaring AMD's innocence in the Intel IP matter, it was Mahmoud that brought up the subject with the groundless accusation.

Get it? Let me make it simple:

A) Intel dude groundlessly attacks AMD.
B) AMD dude responds with fact of the explicit lack of evidence/basis for attack.
C) Intel dude responds with anti-AMD innuendo.

vs.

A) AMD dude points out fact of Intel's multiple antitrust struggles.
B) Intel dude responds with groundless defense of Intel. (Attacks strawman, etc.)
C) AMD dude points out fallacy of Intel dude's defense.

You know how they say "reality has a liberal bias?" Well, in this case, reality has an AMD bias.

Hypocrisy is claiming that:

A) It's simply not possible for Intel to have done anything wrong ("Their lawyers would never permit it!") when accused (and found to have broken, in some cases) the antitrust laws of several countries, while

B) AMD just MUST have been involved (even with the explicit lack of any evidence by any enforcement agency) with the theft of Intel IP just because he knows it in his heart to be true.

*Strawman. However, criticism of Intel is supported by multiple antitrust prosecutions by several countries, some of which have found Intel to have violated antitrust laws.

**Unsubstantiated and explicitly lacking evidence. A.K.A. a "conspiracy theory."
