    Interesting,its hard for me to believe intel controls volume shares by 80%,the whole chip world is backward,if your a regular joe who gets a computer from pc world,dell.ect you pay a premium for in my eyes an average chip,but if your an enthusiast who doesnt mind paying a premium for good stuff,-gets his amd cheaper than an intel.

    Hope they push the boat out with a huge $50000 fine that'll slow em down.lol.

    In looking for more info I came accross this title of a story from 2001 which I thought was funny

    lol

    Were gonna sue em,hard,were gonna go in there sue the ass off them-

    Hard!

    Size breeds pressure the bigger the corporation the more people pushing the guys below them to sell more chips,like microsoft if microsoft has a bad week a small country somewhere wont eat.lol :D

    Well not for much longer now AMD have cornered the enthusiast/geeks market... they are going to raise prices of CPUs, hey now we have them hooked lets fleece their $$££s ;)


    Sooooo thats how AMD reward their loyal customers... charge Intel prices :rolleyes:

    Its just the way the world works,I dont really have any illusions of loyalty,friendship when it comes to buying stuff,if intel cpu's start to perform the way amd's do for the right price,I'm Intel fanboy born and raised,we need amd to have more cash to heat up the competion,sweatier more desperate fatcats prepared to lower prices to keep us interested.

    Saying that I'v never really fell for the illusion of competion in big business,it always gets to point where thay both just say well sell em at this price if you do a la cartel,if it hasnt happened already,I'm being optomistic.
