Intel sues AMD

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquire [...] l-sues-amd

...for losing a couple of pages out of 200 million. Think of the lawyers fees next time you buy an i5.

I think this is simply another turn of the same coin.

IIRC the courts got steamed at Intel for 'missing' emails and their retention policy. Now, apparently, Intel is blaming AMD for Intel emails that Intel doesn't retain anymore and claiming AMD lost the Intel emails that may or may not have existed or were originally destroyed by Intel?

Did I come close?

And LOL at 200 million emails ....

You're not even in the ballpark: Retention_Sanctions_redacted_Motion

* Not speaking for Intel Corp *

We should treat this like AMD fanboys treat litigation against Intel; as Gospel truth!

AMD ARE EVIL! LOOK! SOMEONE FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM!

Is.

When AMD IS found guilty.



But then shouldn't you apply the same treatment to Intel and not use pending litigation as proof of ultimate evil-ness. Didn't BaronMatrix once us pending litigation against Intel as proof they were the reason for the Panama Conflict of 1989?


(Edit: Not saying that all examples you have provided in the past have been pending, you have used some actual judgements)

Very interesting!

I guess that means I can't pick on you anymore :-(

So if I am reading this correctly, its is showing that AMD did not have or retain the proper paperwork for the Antitrust case when they should have started, thus it would throw this case out but possibly open a new one.

Well one that starts from 2005 anyways. Problem is that thats about when most OEMs started to really push AMD CPUs since Prescott turned into a meh CPU. That could mean AMD wouldn't have anything.

unfortunately the law is the law. Japan is much like the uS in that way too. If you do not have all the proper evidence or paperwork required then you pretty much get screwed. If there is even the slightest doubt that Manson did not kill anyone then he is not guilty.

Meh Wiki is meh. Its great for fast facts but is not always 100%.

Also, I hope this quote is not true because to AMD people who think like that have wallets ripe for the pickin to fill their own.

Corporations big or small still means money making.

Now I find it kinda funny how the posters to that article bash Intel for this yet instead of reading it or understanding the meaning they consider it sneaky or underhanded. I personally think AMD blaming all their financial problems on Intel is pretty underhanded since they also took the proper steps to insure they would be losing money too.....

I still think this action will get shot down by the courts (unless Intel pays them too). And it's been some time since I saw a post by BM (or DS for that matter). Personally I still prefer AMD, even if I do have a mini ITX based on an intel core 2 (my Ultra portable, soon to be in a PS2 casing).

Yeah but Intel is guilty on all fronts. This will go no where.

teh modz afflicted fur sure.

Melbourne Bitter STAT !!

They sure do.
