Intel Corp (INTC)

[imho]

mas,

AMD need the money and Intel don't need anymore bad publicity, their brand has taken enough of a battering already

Let me get this straight. Intel's brand is taking a beating so they will settle by paying off AMD?

ROTFLMAO.

In your dreams. The damage, if any, has already been done. If there is any payoff, it will be AMD doing the paying (which is why the Abu Dhabi/AMD deal came just in time, for Intel). Any settlement will be initiated by AMD and it will be based on Intel's terms. I know you don't agree, but that is OK. The alternative is it goes to court. Either way AMD will lose.

IMHO
