"Is it proof in your mind that Intel was coercing the suppliers to not offer AMD products and when the suit was filed it freed the suppliers from Intel's grip?" No. It is suggestive that something changed. We do know for a fact that Intel changed their policies with Dell in that time frame. It is likely they changed them with others. So it is not likely that the OEMs felt freed. Just less restricted. "It is also possible that it took time for the suppliers to design, validate, qualify and introduce AMD products once enough time had passed to satisfy them that Opteron was for real." Almost 2 1/2 years? Now who is wildly speculating?
