Re: Neither the EU nor the Obama administration is going to allow AMD to be put out of business and x86 turned into a monopoly like this, period.

I couldn't say for the EU, but I haven't heard the Obama administration even utter the syllables A-M-D in a single public statement.

I think there are far bigger fish to fry than to pretend the Obama administration has enough free time to play the "Big, Bad Socialist" for every single company on the verge of going out of business.

The banks as the economic backbone of the country is one thing. The automobile industry being the life blood of the mid-west is another. But I'm guessing the few thousand AMD employees and corporation with billions in debt and inconsequential product line are much more along the lines of a statistic, as opposed to something this country would want to spend even a second of time trying to save.
