This is great, lol. Stand back and lets see the sparks fly.

With a few trade embargo's, legal nonsense etc, we will see both sides sink as China rises yet further.

China pwns us all. ;-)

To asdas, it is pitiful that you are so blatantly ignorant to use a term such as jews-nazis. It shows how little history you have ever learnt or digested, regardless of the distortion of other facts in your pathetic comment.

To the INQuirer, you should do a better job of filtering comments, removing such plainly insidious remarks.

Asdas's comment sounds like it comes straight from the tinfoil helmet people but there is a nugget of truth in the notion that Intel is becoming more Israeli than American. There's nothing particularly sinister in this -- you've had a group designing desktop processors in the US and a group designing low power processors for laptops in Israel and the inevitable happens when the low power processors' performance catches up with the older desktop units.

The rest of the post is a bit OTT as far as I'm concerned. On a philosophical note you could say that the Jews learned years ago that sending their kids to law school was infinitely more useful than having them schooled at a terrorist training camp.

You win the award for Most Irrelevant Post.

This has nothing to do with monopolies and everything to do with IP.

Wouldn't Intel basically be required to act if AMD was in some way violating their licensing agreement, lest they lose the right to enforce it at a later date?

"...and taking action against AMD on these grounds would clearly enforce the anti-trust cases against Intel. "

Wot mate.....? Put down the pipe eh, or perhaps you've had one too many to drink.

Intel would not be in a good position to try and litigate this. There are already a number of actions, in various countries, that allege anti-trust conduct on the part of Intel, and taking action against AMD on these grounds would clearly enforce the anti-trust cases against Intel.
