Intel cannot afford to let AMD go out of business
If they ask, we will say that the agreement to a great extent resolves outstanding disputes between AMD and Intel under the antitrust laws.
AMD was obviously the biggest beneficiary ... with positive financial and strategic implications ... We believe the settlement also benefits Intel by settling all outstanding antitrust issues with AMD with a mere $1.25 billion.
In a typical example of the evidence the Commission relied on ... a lower-level employee of a customer company speculates that Intel might retaliate against that customer by disproportionately reducing its discounts if that customer bought (or bought more) from AMD.
review the settlement between Intel and AMD in their private litigation
We're very pleased to see AMD and Intel reach settlement on this matter ... We're also pleased that this resolution allows GlobalFoundries to continue making products for AMD while aggressively pursuing new foundry customers.
But it is going to take awhile to play out. This agreement allows AMD to compete with Intel on the merits of its products
I don't think consumers will see a whole lot of difference ... The forces that drive the PC chip market are much bigger than these interactions between Intel and AMD.
If you look at the virtualization instruction sets that have been implemented by AMD and Intel, they are incompatible with each other ... If you build a virtualization pool and do live migration from one system to another, it has to be all Intel, or it has to be all AMD.

I think this settlement also helps to keep Intel in line. I'm not trying to imply that they're out of line, but they do have some aggressive marketing tactics and I think that with this agreement AMD will be somewhat of a watchdog in the future in case they feel Intel gets out of line.
This resolves an issue that has been going on for quite a while between Intel and AMD and allows us both to put our focus instead of on legal maneuvering and the expenses involved, on developing innovative products.
The litigation between Intel and AMD was massive, expensive, and time-consuming, so in these economic conditions they apparently decided it was better to bury the hatchet and concentrate on their core product business
At least now, the OEMs will have no fear of reprisals from Intel for bringing AMD products into the market
safe to assume that AMD was assisting in the investigations of Intel behind the scenes.
I was estimating a judgment between $2 billion and $5 billion with penalties so this was a good deal from Intel and AMD needs the money
The Intel-AMD case is a private dispute. Although the settlement may eliminate some barriers, FTC action is necessary to assure long-term relief in this market, that competition is fully restored, and that consumers have the benefit of an open market.
The end of the legal wrangling is good news for both companies ... The $1.25 billion Intel will pay AMD is certainly a welcome cash boost for the company. With AMD withdrawing its regulatory complaints worldwide, hopefully both Intel and AMD will now be able to focus more of their efforts on providing s...
It doesn't matter to [the European Commission] what AMD thinks ... They have their evidence and they're keeping their money.
AMD is going to be perceived as the big winner here, but the bigger winner is Intel
The settlement was sorely needed for AMD, which has struggled with mounting losses and high debt levels related to its acquisition of graphics-chip maker ATI Technologies.
We at Intel don't punish the customer. So AMD and Intel have agreed to monitor [business practices] and have talks about perception, codifying what we will and won't do going forward
