"It would have sucked if the OEM had to break existing contracts just to make room for CPUs that AMD dumped onto them" Umm, I am sure that AMD wasn't asking for existing contracts to be broken. This likely was for future use. Despite your dreams, AMD sales droids are not total dolts and have some knowledge of how the industry operates. "yet the EU thinks AMD could have done it faster and in a more profitable manner without Intel's oh-so-monopolistic behavior." I am sure you think you made a point. I don't have the slightest clue what that might be. "In the meantime, dumping one million CPUs that no one else wanted is the fault of the supplier, not the competitor." That isn't what happened, as I am certain you know. They were trying to get a design win. Despite offering the chips for free, they couldn't.
