Intel's business practices according to AMD. When you realize that AMD was willing to lie about everything else, it puts this claim in a new light. Is that the "whole truth", Elmer? What about the JFTC, KFTC, EC, FTC, SEC, NYAG... fpg

This having my "blinkers" removed is not easy. Talk about seeing things in a new light. All of AMD's claims might as well have been total fabrications. Dam you Col Sanders.

Elmer, > Intel's business practices according to AMD. When you realize that AMD was willing to lie about everything else, it puts this claim in a new light. Most of the facts of Intel's business practices are not in dispute. AMD came up with legally self-serving interpretations of said business practices. Could that qualify as a "lie" or just aggressive litigation? Sounds like a lawyer's playground. The strange thing is that Borusa, in pursuing a fantasy where Intel's competition wins due to better R&D and more diversity in the marketplace, actually ended up supporting lawyers, litigation, and regulation that eventually made no difference whatsoever. So Intel now has $3B less in the bank. Is the semiconductor market better off because of it? Did Intel all of a sudden decide, "Oh geez, guess we should start innovating now rather than be the big bad bully AMD claims we are"? No. Intel has always been a leader in innovation. AMD capitalized when Intel stumbled, but I don't see Intel stumbling as much these days. Even the Cougar Point fiasco was something AMD could not take advantage of. Now that the litigation drama (or at least the most recent chapter of it) is history, AMD is now exposing itself for the impotent competitor it really is. The fantasy has moved onto ARM. Stick a fork in AMD. They're done. Tenchusatsu
