Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

Intel has had countless opportunities over the
last two decades to twist a knife in AMD's heart if it was so
inclined. But AMD is Intel's never fail get-of-out-monopoly-
charges-free card.

I'd be interested to hear a few these opportunities you see Intel as having passed up. It's not that I disagree; I suppose Intel has the money to hand out processors for free for a couple of quarters if they wanted too. I don't see, though, that they could do it without damaging their interests in the long term as such tactics would increase pricing pressure even with AMD out of the way.
