AMD is nipping at Intel's heels and supposedly throwing out some serious allegations. What the serious allegations are remains to be seen. There seems to be a lot of "this is serious stuff" chest-puffery followed by some non-serious allegations that AMD happens to dislike. For example: Intel (gasp!) rewards their customers for buying more of their products. The horror! This is akin to buying 12 Jamba Juices (as accounted for using a SINISTER device known as "a card you get stamped every time you buy a Jamba Juice") and getting the 13th free. Or maybe it's buy 10, get the 11th, but it's something like that. I mean, that has to be illegal, right? Using AMD's logic, Jamba is coercing customers by making that free Mango-A-Go-Go available to them and is thus being unfair to Smoothie King. Customers shouldn't be free to go to Jamba Juice as often as they choose, but should be forced to also patronize Smoothie King and attempt to choke down the putrid glop therein. Why? Ask AMD.
AMD is really taking the low road here. Instead of dreaming up ways to harass Intel, they could be carving out a niche of their own, and/or promoting their own processors and touting the superiority to Intel's thereof. But it must be easier to throw around accusations that, even if true, are meaningless. All the more reason to look for the "Intel Inside" sticker.
