re:AMD never had a chance to properly manage its business, with Intel's thumb constantly pressing down on them.

LOL. Like AMD's manufacturing operations from 2000-2005? Delay after delay. Poor yields, etc. No one doubts that Intel manufacturing was a key competitive advantage for it. Thats probably the main reason Dell would never touch AMD as a partner. The logistics of the Dell supplier were so demanding (volume, on-site etc), and AMD could never meet them to be a significant partner. Your narrow-view of this case is embarassing..quit while you can.

What part of Intel's anatomy pressed AMD into paying $6B
for ATI or completely mess up several K8 follow-on uarchs?

Who is saying AMD didn't make any mistakes? Doesn't absolve Intel of its illegal behavior.

If Intel paid Dell and others to exclude AMD, it's illegal, regardless of what AMD has done.
