Hector's advice to Intel

[Exophase]

So his advice is basically to throw a ton of resources into mobile processors and take phones and tablets very seriously...

Has he been sleeping for the last few years?

Splitting the business is of course outrageous, I don't see how that possibly benefits Intel. Especially splitting between high end servers and desktop PCs when they use the same damn hardware, and that same hardware is even creeping lower and lower into tablets.

Guy is really making a fool of himself.. I mean, the article is bad regardless of who wrote it. It putting off a vibe similar to Dick Cheney criticizing Barack Obama doesn't really help..

I don't think that would ever happen. If someone high-up at Intel ever chronicled their illegal mis-deeds to control the industry, then it would be used as primary evidence against them in a lawsuit.

Or do you somehow think that Intel is in fact squeaky-clean in this regard? I certainly don't.

Anyone who thinks Intel came to dominant the industry due to "illegal misdeeds", clearly knows nothing about the industry.

I would rather take advice from leo apotheker then Hector!

I thought that it was a fact that Intel abused their monopoly position, by paying Dell to not carry AMD chips. And that's only one of several name-brand OEMs.

Ugh

This at a time when AMD were capacity constrained and sold all the chips they could make anyway.

And from this you conclude that this was how Intel became the dominant force in the semiconductor industry.

What great insight you possess.

If Intel was so squeaky-clean, then why did their two primary competitors, AMD and NVidia, win huge monetary settlements from Intel.

Intel cancelling NVidia's chipset license, when NVidia thought that they had access to all Intel chipset busses, was dirty pool.

"Huge" is the wrong word in this case, trivial is a better adjective.

Please link to the court verdicts that Intel lost.

Or better yet, quit derailing my thread and start your own.

This makes me think of Ray Nagin.

Before Hurricane Sandy I saw him on one of the cable news networks, talking about preparations and recovery after natural disasters. Apparently the guy has written a book and has spoken on that topic all over the world.

Nagin was mayor of New Orleans during Katrina, and just a few months ago was indicted on 20+ counts of corruption related to post-Katrina New Orleans. Maybe Hector missed his calling.

A complaint by the FTC is not a court judgement.

I'll save you the effort - there isn't one.

Now do you have a comment that is on topic?

Intel got fined in EU and South Korea... And that was the court judgement, so you fail. Also AMD got a settlement with Intel(in USA), so Intel basically admitted the defeat while in EU and South Korea it got fined. The EU fine was largest, 1B€...

The European Commission now qualifies as a court? That's fascinating, thanks for the update! :thumbsup:

European Commission is not really a court but because Intel did it wide spread in Europe it was in their juristiction and it acted and European Court processed while European Commission is a higher governing body thus it can.

Wow, that actually says a lot Leo vs. Hector...could there be a lesser evil in such a vote? That is a tough one
