Are you sure about that Intel MKL is also applied to that law? Intel MKL is a propriety software by Intel and its system requirements clearly states that it is Intel 64 and IA-32 only. Do you mean that all propriety software made by the hardware manufacturer should support competitor's hardware as well?
- lawrenceyan 7y agoThat's false. Intel's MKL library has been repeatedly marketed as a tool for all processors including non-Intel ones. Combined with this fact, Intel's choice to purposefully remove performance enhancements for AMD processor is very clearly in violation of antitrust law.
- Teknoman117 7y agoExcept it's not against antitrust law. As long as they document that it may not run well on non-Intel processors, they are in the clear, at least in the US. Is it scummy? Sure, but that was the ruling when this came up for their compiler.
