CJ, > The EC is claiming that Intel did that in a de facto manner.

Anything Intel does to gain market share will hurt AMD in a de facto manner. That includes making any volume discounts, apparently.

Of course AMD thinks those discounts were exclusionary. Well duh, any time AMD can't compete on price is deemed "exclusionary." Fortunately they have Neelie the Terrible who agrees with them every step of the way.

Seems like the WSJ agrees with me, though you guys will probably claim that they're in the pockets of Intel:

The EC is claiming that Intel did that in a de facto manner. Which is still illegal.

Which is also exactly what I predicted. Note, the Commission is claiming it's illegal. The court must decide after Intel gets to present it's defense and submit documents the commission refused to allow.
