Good...I hope the judge does toss the case. Intel "HAS" come up with a

ligitimate argument. These cases are all about who has the better legal

counsel, and i can imagine the lawyers that Intel can afford. I think if

AMD was in the same position as Intel, with the same resources, they

quite likely would have done the same thing.....Hey, they're in the business

to make money, not friends.

Actionman?

stop being children.... some people might actually want to know something about this..... Ycon... if you have nothing to add, then don't post anything. 1Tanker, did you even read the article? They said "Intel filed a motion on Wednesday asking a federal-court judge to dismiss portions of an antitrust lawsuit brought by its archrival, Advanced Micro Devices." I highlighted, italiced and underlined the key word for you. It doesn't really matter if Intel wins or loses.... they are not going any where..... so everyone stop getting so defensive about this stupid case, it's not like YOU own the company.

I wasn't being defensive, i just think they're smart for bringing up the

jurisdictional arguement. Things like that can turn the outcome of a case

around fairly quickly.

Why does AMD keeps suing Intel, what they want? Money? Maybe Intel is bribing the judge with millions of dollars to drop it like it's hot. Oh well, these days we to be careful otherwise be sued for money. Why can't they just get along like friends and drink a cup of coffee.

Somehow i don't think the in house lawyers in either camp are better or worse than the other...coming up with tiny little details to slip through the cracks in the legal system is pretty much standard issue.

Just because Intel has an argument doesnt mean they will win it.

hey 9-inch didnt you hear - your turion x2 got delayed, but you didnt post that did you?

why do i get the feeling 9-inch is just another poster AMD fanboy using the 9-inch account just to post BS?

Apache.... who the hell cares....

AMD case is most likely a joke. Now that their business has swung back and AMD is doing well, they should quit whining and drop it. If it was a publicity ploy, it worked..

The whole '10 way skype conference calling ONLY on intels' proves to me that AMD have SOME sort of case

This is nothing more than Intel posturing and par-for-the course legal procedure...nothing more, don't read to much else into it.

This lawsuit is not silly or stupid, Intel deserved it, not for nothing, but both Dell and Gateway were selling desktops with AMD procs and then the next year, they were not. As soon as I heard that I knew that Intel used there size and influence to have makers and resellers favor them over AMD. Comptetition is what the consumer benefits from. A little legal tussle every now and then can be healthy for the industry. Partially due to the lawsuit Intel actually has to produce something new to keep themselves in the forefront, i.e. Conroe/Core architecture/ViiV, etc...

Keyboard and cookie jokes aside, the all caps subject line is a bit much...

And your Intel avatar doesn't give the feeling that you're just another Intel fanboy waiting for pro AMD posts so you can dis them?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...

Intel has influence, but what Intel did there was perfectly legal. That's just like Pepsi selling Pepsi only at taco-bell and Coke selling Coke only as Mcdonald's.

Bad analogy because Taco Bell is owned by PepsiCo...what Intel did is on the fringes of legality and certainly deserving of scrutiny...Dell, Gateway, and the other resellers are not subsidiaries of Intel, they are business partners, Intel is being sued for anti-trust infringement due to them using their influence to steer and control the market...

They have just as much power to buy AMD as they do Intel. Many of them choose Intel because Intel can produce motherboards, chipsets and still provide plenty of chips. AMD has production problems that Intel does not, therefore it would be impossible for AMD to be the primary supplier for all of the above. Also, AMD did this in the heat of last year when they were doing poorly. Let's all take notice that AMD has stopped making a big deal of it now that they are up 70%. Publicity ploy? Maybe. Wishful thinking? Definately.
