apple, Intel, and AMD
On the heels of the lawsuits filed by AMD vs. Intel, analysts are starting to wonder about how this might affect Apple’s decision to go with Intel:
Martin Reynolds, an analyst at Gartner Inc., headquartered in Stamford, Conn, agreed, saying, “The lawsuit should have no effect on Apple.”
“However,” he said, “it does raise the question of why Apple selected Intel over AMD. There was no existing business, so there can be no possibility of coercion based on rebates. It isn’t too presumptuous to assume that Apple made the decision based on the facts that AMD and Intel offered.”
