LOL this might teach Apple a lesson... Bully is being bullied back, and is actually succeeding a bit

Its not bullying. Its called business. Whether a company likes it or not they need to play the game.

I am disappointed with AMD helping Apple out. I mean the rich bully pays the big guy to punch others, pathetic!

Why people can't understand that Apple is the new Microsoft, they just want total domination.

AMD disappoints me once again :shadedshu They should focus on CPU/GPU development not in legal services for greedy egocentric companies.

AMD should defend it's own patents.

You do realize that the APU AMD uses is nearly exactly the same as intel, and the cpu is much much inferior to the I-series cpus and the gpu is equal to intels integrated in most cases, they also run hotter and AMD is generally inefficient compared to intels offering. AMD hasn't been competitive since Athlon was released, and ATI is really their only stronghold. the new 8 core AMD lost to the I-7 quad in most cases and even to its own 6-core version of the previous series, couldn't figure out what theyre doing since it lost on nearly every front. would i get an AMD, not even if its half the price of intel, due to the ability to do anything i want for 4-5 years, compared to having to upgrade 2 years later due to speed issues. ATI segment of AMD is having notoriously bad driver issues and always has, nvidia is usually better only one major issue in last 7 years, intel is the worst cant even speak about it.
AMD bobcat APUs targets Intel Atom based solutions.

Last 7 years? NVIDIA bumbgate says Hi...

I cannot say i am as apple is making them money.. When your AMD you have to be careful what bridges you burn and burning those who sell your shit is not good biz.

I am sure other companys would see this as a good thing too.

Indeed. Phuck you AMD, first the goof-up with crappy yields of Llano and then crappy performance of Bulldozer, now this crap ... deal with your own internal problems first !

It's time for somebody to give Apple a bloody nose.
