When while trying to cheat they still lose to AMD.

On a long enough timeline.

In reality, they lost to TSMC as much as anything. That's the real meat of why this case was so important: AMD not being able to gain marketshare meant they couldn't afford to reinvest into R&D. AMD falling behind in fab tech and having to spin off Global Foundries to stay afloat was a near-direct result of Intel's anti-competitive moves back then.

That lag in process tech had ripple effects for years. AMD didn't really start to gain serious marketshare until the one-two punch of Zen and Intel hitting a process wall (while TSMC kept moving).

Yeah, but they've proven cheating pays off. Without it, they would have fallen behind AMD back in 2004 instead of after Zen was released.

They were still pretending to compete baack then...

How much spent on share buy backs since 2004?

How much money noy spend on R&D

The execs should br subject to claw backs.

These parasites just never get any consequences.

But we still provide a lot of state aid them🐸
