So you agree that EU is biased in this case then?
I'm not saying they will be biased in their findings, what I am saying is that the EU has a responsibility to protect its assets and as such this case was far more likely to see the light of day in Europe than in the US. (thanks for taking what I said out of context though, I clearly said no more, as in the US is protecting their assets, not that the EU was laying charges based only on the fact that AMD is entrenched in Germany i.e tit for tat)

I hope the EU goes after Intel with everything they have, and as if they are fined, it is more than likely that a successful AMD suit will follow. Personally I find it ridiculous this has taken so long, there are multiple sources confirming the findings against Intel, they deleted emails in which the court had ordered they produce, and it was pretty clear that Intel was retaining market dominance in a time in which they had inferior products.

Sure they had the business market on their side, as it is hard to get businesses to change from the tried tested and true, but the numbers still do not add up.

I don't know why EU feels like they should be responsible for a battle between two "US" companies. If the Europeans are so "pro AMD", why don't they just buy AMD processors?
Instead, they are buying Intel processors while trying to fine Intel to support the AMD employment base in Dresden.

As I said, Intel should end AMD's pathetic life right now. Then the Europeans would have no choice but to buy Intel processors. :) That would be a great day to shut the EU up when they type their "anti-Intel" lawsuit documents on a Intel PC running Microsoft Windows and Office.

I hope you will appreciate the irony.

Although originally US based, AMD is no longer really a US company, and is heavily entrenched in Dresden Germany.
I hope you will appreciate the irony.
The only irony here is that you think Intel market domination is a good thing.

Nice try, but not good enough.
