Re: too bad AMD can't twist arm and make threats like Intel did when behind in performance.
>> That is a figment of the AMDroid mindset. It never happened in reality.
I've tried arguing that for years. Unfortunately, the "truth" behind what goes on in board rooms and behind closed doors is not public information, and the level of legality in the business practices that are common knowledge are let's just say up to interpretation. Hence the lawsuit, for example, which won't have an official ruling for another couple of years still.
That's why people who insist on arm twisting and threats without proof to present are merely following their own beliefs on the matter, trusting in their gut feeling for what is actually taking place. It's this kind of "faith" in some investors that originally coined them as "zealots" among the more moderate investment crowd.
In other words, you'd have the same luck telling a Christian that God does not exist than you would telling an AMD zealot that claims of Intel threats and arm twisting are merely figments of an AMDroid mindset. To them, it's real.
