AMD was nearly bankrupted by the scheme the EU is punishing. Intel kept the EU sanctions in appeals hell for a good decade and a half while they proceeded to do what every top-heavy monopolistic asshole company does: make terrible bets and destroy their own innovation. The only reason why they're floundering now is that Lisa Su resurrected AMD and built a star team of CPU designers that are kicking Intel's ass. However, that is not a reason to ignore antitrust as "outdated regulation". If anything, AMD is doing a some of the same shit Intel did when they were dominant, because that's just how the CPU market works now, itself because we let Intel set the standard of behavior a decade ago by failing to punish them for cheating. Anyway, that's why we need more overly punitive fines detached from reality.
