Intel will eventually grow tired of this. When they do they'll stop scratching and start biting, ultimately swallowing NVIDA. And we all know what happens to things that we eat...]]>Dec 17th 2009 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/They make us grow up to be big and strong like Popeye.

I see metaphors are beyond you. Very well, let me spell it out for your impaired intellect.

NVIDIA is insignificant to Intel, however they keep sniping at them because they want Intel to buy them. Intel could use the help on the graphics side, however, being the behemoth that they are they would destroy everything good about NVIDIA were they to actually purchase them.

Clear now? Good, because there's a lonely bridge somewhere in Europe that's missing its troll.]]>Dec 18th 2009 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 18th 2009 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Jan 2nd 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 17th 2009 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 17th 2009 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/
What craziness....

A company that legitimately produces products and markets them to the point where they become a market leader and *of course* the government thinks that they have to step in.

Shame on AMD for thinking they need to use government strong hold to win a battle rather than innovation.

Shame on the government for having such an entity

And apparently shame on Intel for being so successful. However, I bet their shareholders would think differently.]]>Dec 17th 2009 11:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/

lol I happen to be an AMD fan but I 100% agree with you. AMD's only saving point right now is their low cost integrated graphics kills Intel's crap. Unfortunately for Intel, they are likely to start down that road shortly with possible an absorption of NVidia to possibly jump start them.]]>Dec 17th 2009 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/
I would also like to suggest we should have had teraflop level x86 architectures like Larrabee long ago, and optical system interconnects by now. I'm being such a heathen today :[]]>Dec 17th 2009 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/
might have something to do with all the money they got from being anticompetitive which would allow more R&D whereas AMD has no money for that.

Of course that's merely speculation]]>Dec 18th 2009 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 17th 2009 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 17th 2009 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/

With the amount of trouble I've had with nForce chipsets over the years... no way.]]>Dec 18th 2009 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/
Intel are the leaders now, but in the early to mid 2000's they were not, and we would all be better off with a stronger AMD who would have most likely been in a better position today, with a stronger product offering and perhaps even in-step with the fabrication process of intel.

Monopolistic behaviour doesn't benefit anyone except the company performing the behaviour. Good for shareholders. Bad for pretty much everyone else. Intel should (somehow) be penalised appropriately for this behaviour. They'll just resort to such behaviour any time they are challenged and are bested. That's not good for the industry or the consumer.]]>Dec 17th 2009 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://opchoke.com/ Even CNN talked about it]]>Dec 18th 2009 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 18th 2009 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 18th 2009 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 18th 2009 1:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 18th 2009 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 18th 2009 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 18th 2009 2:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/
Before you continue, realize that most of the anti-trust activities happened towards the early-20th century, well before Obama was born. While you're enjoying such socialist-born ideas as a police department and a fire department, realize that the United States has never been and will never be a "free market" system, Trust me, life would be hell if it were. ]]>Dec 18th 2009 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/Dec 18th 2009 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/ftc-wont-ask-intel-to-break-up/
