Only way Amd is ever going to catch up

He's basically saying that AMD encouraged him to steal classified information from Intel.

"The FBI was able to recover these documents quickly, before Pani could use them to Intel’s disadvantage, largely because Intel reported the theft quickly and assisted the investigation. AMD also cooperated with the investigation and there was no evidence its personnel asked Pani to take the data or knew he had it, " a statement by the U.S published by the news-agency reads.

Dude? Do you interpret just what you want to read?

 

[SickBeast]

Mr. Pani "started downloading from Intel computers numerous secret documents about Intel’s manufacturing and design of computer chips" to advance his career with AMD.

The article is contradicting itself in a sense.

How long did AMD have the data before the investigation was launched? Did AMD launch the investigation?

Your post is rude BTW, Schmide.

My post is not rude.

You do understand the difference between a question mark (the squiggly thing with a dot) and a statement of fact?

When you said this

He's basically saying that AMD encouraged him to steal classified information from Intel.

You are not correct!!!

 

[SickBeast]

Well how was he going to advance his career at AMD by stealing data if AMD did not encourage it? Are you suggesting that he just stole the data on his own, then gave it to AMD in hopes of getting a promotion, at which point AMD called the police?

The article is vaguely worded and open to interpretation.

 

[sandorski]

Read your articles before drawing conclusions. Looks like AMD didn't even know what he was doing, never mind "encourage" him to do so.

"Major Fail Thread Drama" should be the title here.

 

[SickBeast]

Whatever, guys. Chastise me if you wish. I'm not taking the bait. I already explained myself.

 

[ShadowVVL]

It does not say amd ever got this data.

So I don't think amd is the bad guy.

He doesn't need to hand over documents or a bunch of data to AMD to advance his career, he could have simply learned from it and used it claiming it was his own ideas to advance his career without AMD ever knowing he stole from Intel.

 

[SickBeast]

Guys I updated the OP. It looks like I misinterpreted the article and glossed over part of it.

We still don't know all the details, though. For all we know AMD could have benefited from this incident.

I read about this a couple days ago and I wonder if AMD now has to audit all of his coworkers to make sure they're not using information/documentation passed to them by Pani. It's probably impossible to "purge" the ideas from your brain so I'm guessing whatever knowledge they obtained is impossible to forget.

 

[Maximilian]

Could have been an interesting thread, ruined by facts and logic. You guys suck

 

[postmortemIA]

OP please update your description which is 180 degrees from what your link says.

 

[rgallant]

with AMD's luck he might have given them the plan's for the B1 version of the H67/P67 chipset.

 

[BallaTheFeared]

So long as they didn't contain voltages for the sata controllers it probably wouldn't have hurt AMD!

 

[Lepton87]

He probably stole nehalem plans so AMD engineers leeched off of it designing BD, only later it turned out that it wasn't that nehalem but the canceled tejas successor.

 

[PhoenixEnigma]

And suddenly, the Netburst -> Bulldozer similarities make sense!

 

[T_Yamamoto]

Looks at title, looks at content
walks away sad

The article directly contradicts this as well.

Why don't you just write your own article? If you're going to make stuff up, at least do it right.

 

[Maximilian]

You should write an article about how Intel and AMD are working together under the direction of Rambus to pave the way for a forced comeback of RDRAM!

 

[SickBeast]

So much baiting in this thread.

I have edited the OP twice. I am entitled to my opinion. If you guys are interpreting the article differently, good for you.

 

[Anarchist420]

And suddenly, the Netburst -> Bulldozer similarities make sense!

This LOL. I was actually going to say... "AMD would've had a better cache design if they "stole" data from intel."

 

[pelov]

You forgot to include Dell!!! And paper manufacturers as any official statement that involves Rambus is almost certainly written on an official court document.

Anyway, the original article states nothing about AMD gaining anything from this. In fact the OP in this thread misinterprets the article which misinterpreted the original Bloomberg article.

Here's the Bloomberg link

 

[SickBeast]

Nowhere does it say that AMD was unaware of the data theft.

These companies steal data from each other all the time. The last time I heard about it, Mercedez was stealing data from Ferrari to improve their brakes.

In 2007, McLaren-Mercedes was fined a record US$100 million for stealing confidential Ferrari technical data.
