fastpathguru,

Intel is being "gone after", for issues less mundane than accounting practices.

Last line in the release:

It is rather obvious Intel is a target. Being a target and being proven guilty are two different things. My question specifically is about the Dell case. If Intel has done something bad or illegal, why has the SEC not gone after Intel? If they have proof of what they allege, this would be a major feather in their cap.

As for the FTC investigation, let's just wait and see what happens.

It is easy to accuse and settle. Not so easy to accuse and prove. No one, in the USA at least, has proven anything that has been alleged concerning Intel and AMD.

The FTC allegations are about to disappear in a rising cloud of smoke. The Intel Settlement will include a bunch of provisions where Intel agrees to refrain from doing what Intel says it never did.

The settlement will also include volume discount rules approved by the FTC that Intel can use -- 100% FTC Certified Legal Rules. All the volume discount earning sales of processors by Intel under those rules -- 100% US Government Certified Legal sales -- will by necessity exclude AMD from making those unit sales.

How do you like them apples? My bet is that it really twists your panties.
