AMD Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Intel
jonathan_ingram writes "As reported on GrokLaw, AMD has just filed an antitrust lawsuit against Intel. AMD states in its press release that the complaint details "... how Intel has unlawfully maintained its monopoly in the x86 microprocessor market by engaging in worldwide coercion of customers from dealing with AMD. It identifies 38 companies that have been victims of coercion by Intel - including large scale computer-makers, small system-builders, wholesale distributors, and retailers, through seven types of illegality across three continents.""
AMD File Antitrut Againt Intel.. What' up? Doe the letter ' ' not work on your keyboard?
...back about 10 years ago, Intel was running commercials on TV - claiming their Pentium systems could produce graphics like Doom III with shimmery water and a life-like gaming experience. Too bad that's handled mainly by the video system. But at the same time, don't misinterpret me, I'm not saying this is handled strictly by the video system, but the CPU speed has little to do with how the GPU processes things.

It's like saying, "buy our windshield wipers because they make your car go faster!" While some lesser-intelligent people actually think this is true, it is not. Get with the program. If you still think it's true, you should post a pic of your car on www.ricecop.com
I think the main idea here is, you can't sell bullshit to educated users. Most of the users in the world ARE educated, but the problem lies with them being drawn in by the "sparkly" things. So... what I'm waiting for is, "The Green Man Group".
