Things do tend to be obvious after the fact, don't they?

It would be in Intel's interest to get an initial response out there, if they could deny any of the claims.

Its not obvious to ask for an extension in time to answer.

Most times a defendant will file a demurrer or a motion to strike portions. That sets up 30 days to the hearing plus another 30, usually, for leave to amend. After the 1st Amended Complaint there's always an outside chance that a judge will try to hose the plaintiff by denying leave to amend - then you're in Appellate.

Intel is playing the weakest form of defense here and it will bolster AMD's case.

Delays are only in Intel's interest when they have a public position which makes sense. That they have, so far, failed to achieve. The longer this goes on the more the OEMs will migrate and ignore Intel's prior threats.

EDIT:

While I was writing this I see that Smallpops posted comments by Gartner (see prior post) Looks to me that Intel agrees with my analysis!
