re: Intel v AMD IP dispute

You didn't look very hard. I don't have all that many posts.

You are right, my bad. Now looking at your response:

It's one thing for AMD to die as a result of the recession or it's own failures, quite another to be put under as a result of an IP dispute.

Wait a minute now. The IP dispute is a result of AMD’s failures. Because AMD failed (bought ATI, Barcelona bugs etc) it seeks to underhandedly push off its costs to Global Foundries. In doing so, we have the dispute over the IP.

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.

First of all, you need to stop thinking in terms of administration this or administration that. It is the USA and it’s laws we are talking about. I agree that no one in the government wants to see a monopoly, and they may try to keep that from happening. But they will try and do that legally, not by going against the laws. So the USA may well have no choice but to allow AMD to kill itself. Clearly the EU is a different animal, but even there, they may not want it but they may have no choice.

IMHO
