chippy, while the suit is active, Intel will feel the need to curb its criminal activities. We're already seeing this happen.

Chipguy, re: The longer this goes on the more the general business and public audience loses interest (presuming they were even aware of it or cares).

Even a very local dutch newspaper of the small town I live in had a third of a page on AMD's suit against Intel. I think that contrary to what you said that most people interested in the industry find this suit the most high profile suit since the antitrust case against Microsoft.

As for losing interest over time that: Is that part wish part reason?

re: AMD's suit has more to do with PR outside the court than action within it.

I don't agree. It's about freeing itself from Intel's restrictive actions, and with the intentional side result good PR. You can claim otherwise, but as you lack facts and related arguments, that claim is extremely weak.

AMD's suit has more to do with PR outside the court
than action within it.

Japanese FTC didn't seem to think so !
European FTC didn't seem to think so !
US FTC action must be almost imminent IMO!


The longer this goes on the more the general business and public audience loses interest (presuming they were even aware of it or cares).

WRONG! The longer, the better for AMD !
Most people I know in the IT branch are disgusted and feel "duped".
There's talk about AMD's claim every day here in the German IT community.
Even German Radio ( WDR2 ) mentioned and discussed the case a few times !

more the general business and public audience loses
interest (presuming they were even aware of it or

You seem to be going out on a limbe again. You seem to be falling flat on your face a lot doing it lately, consistently predicting rosy things for Intel and doom and gloom for AMD.

It seems that value of your opinion is turning out to be that of a broken clock.
