Chip manifacturing giant Intel finally settled after the much heated debate with accusations of being anti-competitive with AMD. As noted from a previous blog post, I expressed my thoughts about this accusation on Intel due to my long affiliation with AMD. So now AMD is recieving $1.25 billion dollars for the settlement along with shared technology from Intel.
So the question now is, how does this affect us consumers? Now that Intel is one step less of a monopoly, there is room for innovation driven by competition. Prices will be cut, and both manufactures will make larger leaps to faster and more efficient computers!
