Same old dirty sales strategy applied by INTEL

“Maliliit na chip maker ating tangkilikin pareho din naman ang teknolohiya sa presyong kaaya-aya, bat nga naman hindi di ba?”

Hmmm… That’s probably why intel’s chips are more expensive…

This is definitely an incredulous issue. As said, Intel only made $647 last year; if they don’t resolve this soon, they’re probably file for bankruptcy (if ever the courts don’t reduce the fine).

Anti-trust cases are everywhere. Spanning from software to hardware manufacturers, there’s no telling if even the complainant (AMD) has some dirty laundry.

I’m not against Intel or anything, but could the courts cut them some slack. Intel has already cut off thousands of employees at the nucleus of the recession and now this. Thousands more might end up losing their households if the appeal is thwarted.

It’s not a small fine, but it’s probably nowhere near what AMD lost through several years of Intel’s dirty tricks.

morality has nothing to do with the quality of their product hehe

If intel is doing this racket then it simply means that either they do not believe in their product or their product is inferior to AMD.

This adds up to the reason why I dont like Intel based products and love AMD based products more. In any kind of business, there will always be good karma and bad karma (depends on what these companies “do”..)
