> US+EU to fund AMD
IANAL, but I don't think this would be legal under WTO rules. It would be seen as an unfair advantage to AMD, and Intel could complain to the WTO about it.
Something similar happened recently when Brazil accused the Province of Quebec of funding Bomardier (who competes with Embraer). [0]

- johansch 9y agoIf that's a violation of WTO rules it seems like these rules would need to get overhauled.
- kuschku 9y agoWTO rules are very biased in general, allowing for some kinds of protectionism, which are more popular in the US, and banning other kinds entirely. It’s complete bullshit, as who they are applied to is entirely subjective.
