WTF is he talking about, Intels lost every single suit AMD has brought.. I guess losing is "satisfactory" is his eyes. Granted they never lost billions like this suit has potential for, but they still lost.

In answer to Keys' question:

No, chips aren't the only thing I care about. But should AMD get no money from Intel just because some workers might get fired? I think not, my friend.

By the way: What the fvck is a jugular? My dictionary doesn't have it.

Soooo, that's all this means to you? What about the thousands of people who will lose their jobs at Intel when Intel tries to recoup some of the money the courts force them to pay AMD? You don't think about those things do you... You think maybe AMD will hire all of the people Intel lays off? Sure thing....... don't call us we'll call you. All you care about is the f'ing chips. Correct me if I'm wrong because I hope I am. And if you say, "Cry me a River", your legs need bustin. ;)

Intel has over $600mil in cash. $50mil isnt even a dent.

Yeah, and that 600.000.000 doesn't even include their processors and FABs. Cause those can be sold, too.
