The Purge

Wow on Intel. If this information and lawsuit goes through, what would it do to Intel and the computers we know today?

It would mean more of them would be using AMD chips, which makes AMD a buy!

to answer your question, it would do basically nothing. Intel has deep pockets, at worst they'll have to cough up a big settlement.

AMD should be out of business already, but is kept on lifesupport so Intel wont have a true monopoly. Every year AMD falls further behind in manufacturing advances and R&D.

I cant really see how you can have much competition in the CPU business since everything created revolves around that CPU. Sharing your hardware & design info on CPU product is deterimental to your success as thats what you paid billions to obtain in the first place. Compatibility between different companies is a nightmare for the end user.

I dont see any good solution to this problem. Only thing I can think of is give the fines to a company with completely different technology (ie..optical photon based CPU or some of that crazy crystal)shit)

Yea what Snow said. Might be some dips, but this will be like the Microsoft anti trust stuff, which really had very little long term impact.

I drove by an intel building yesterday. They seem to be doing just fine.
