Literally, and legally, Intel does not have a monopoly on the micro processor industry, they do hold the majority of the market share, but just because my business is bigger than yours it doesn't mean I'm a monopoly, and your existance proves this, Intel isn't the only microprocessor builder. What you guys fail to see is the fact that this is not bullying, or bribing, it has a name, and its called competitive pressure, capitalism -encourages- this, and its not the only market where it happens (shrugs) you guys just seem to love to use the term "Monopoly" against large global corps. when its really not. |

So my fellow AMD fans and my former Intel fanboys, chill out, take a deep breath, and realize that the world will keep on ticking and Intel and AMD will keep on existing for the foreseeable future, that being a good few years. Sure the tide may turn in AMD's favor but that's the way things work. Some days you win some, some days you lose some. Anywhoo, I gotta make the render farms crunch more fractals... pack those big boys in ice, overclock them to 5.0ghz, and keep the fire extinguisher at bay. |
| Quoted exactly from a powerpoint presentation used to teach students at illinois state university. I would like to see "your definition" of a price discriminating monopoly. Price discrimination isn't illegal... for example if you book your airline tickets or hotel early you get a cheaper rate. That IS price discrimination, it doesn't cost the companies any less to provide service whether booked early or late, and I bet you enjoy it when you get the cheaper rates. Should the airline and hotel companies be sued because little bed and breakfast places can't give the same deals? |

We would lick the broken glass off the road and wash it down with nitric acid. Then we would go down to the mines to work for 28 hours a day, paying the mine owner 20 cents an hour to be allowed to work there. When we got home our mother and father would kill us with the breadknife and dance over our graves singing "Hallelujah!". Yeah, kids nowadays... you have it easy...

no need for me to change it as I am not offending any1 with it.@student
You are damn stupid, that's what you are. Consider an example, two guys sit at a math test, they are both about equally good in math but one is physically much much stronger than the other. This guy goes to the guy who is going to correct the papers and says he is going to bash him up if the other chap comes out ahead, on the other hand if HE wins he'd pay him some money.
The guy correcting the paper thinks they are both almost equal anyway, so he fails the weaker one and passes the brawny chap. Now, according to you, this would be a completely fair practice.
AMD is as good and cheaper it should have had nearly half of the market share, but Intel used its monetary clout to shut it out. This is unfair and illegal. That is why you have the lawsuit. this is not about saving the underdog. AMD is not really the under dog in their manufacture, but they are underdogs in money power and state has to see it does not uses this to trample on its competition. Also, why cant you see the consumer is the ultimate loser? If AMD keeps lagging behind because of being short of funds the frantic innovation you see, and the price points you see would not be there.
And Intel did bully. It didnt send in Ninjas merely threatened a lawsuit. Check your facts out.
Think how it would be if Apple threatened carriers not to sell android phones. Would the fact that iPhone is better be an excuse?
