AMD Files Antitrust Complaint Against Intel In U.S. Federal District Court - Page 6

Well I can see why Intel would want to dump AMD, AMD is making money for simply producing Intel chips, so no marketing or development is necessary. Even if they had to make less chips then Intel they are still making profit. And Intel probably felt they shouldn't have to share profit with AMD when AMD is in essence a subcontracted manufacturer of chips. And it seems AMD wasn't required to pay any sort or royalty to Intel which today would be completely fair. I think if Intel was paid royalties they never would have tried to dump AMD it would be like franchises of today, you make, sell and distribute my product and pay me a percentage. Well this still doesn't justify what Intel did later on but it does explain the dislike between the two companies.

The result of this is that the money which could be spent for R&D by both companies
will go to the lawyers, and none of the consumers will win.

Intel mobile chips are better than AMD. Just do better work on the market, and your product will be bought.

Except that the ruling should reduce the amount of Intel strong-arming (and it actually seems to have begun to do so already.) This means more Athlon 64-using options, which means more choice for the consumer.

Turion 64 seems to be doing pretty well, from what the consumers of the product have told us.

If you're comparing the P-M to the Mobile Athlon64, yes. However, the Turion seems to be giving the P-M a serious run for its money, and AMD has another model in waiting that consumes even less power than the current Turion line. It's too early to give the mobile crown to either Intel or AMD, IMHO.

Yep, this is rumoured to be the Turion MX series (I've also heard of MZ, not sure if it's the same thing), which should run somewhere between 7 and 20 W.

Maybe Turion has better performance per dollar. However, it is by far not the best mobile chip: needs
more power, has less L2 cash, looses most benchmarks vs. PM. I am not sure I want to save 150$ to have at least 10% loss in the performance every day for at least 2 years I am going to use my lappy.

Well, Turion is a very good competitor of Celeron, agreed. Then I choose Turion!

...THE L2 CACHE IS OFFSET BY THE ON-DIE MEMORY CONTROLLER. GamePC's "tests" are worth about as much as dismembering a goat. Most Turion ML notebooks have shown battery life fairly competitive with that of Centrino notebooks, and MT notebooks have barely been tested at all.

The biggest problem currently known with Turion is availability.
