- dijit 2y agoYou do. 15 years ago though. https://www.intel.com/pressroom/legal/docs/NY_AG_v._Intel_COMPLAINT.pdf https://www.intel.com/pressroom/legal/docs/NY_AG_v._Intel_CO...
- Alupis 2y agoThe effects live on, unfortunately. Justice was not served as an outcome of that case. Today, people's mindshare is still largely with Intel, mostly due to nearly 2 decades of associated brand new computers, and performance with Intel, since they were the only offered option 90% of the time. Think about your typical non-technical person shopping for a computer. "I want Intel, they've always done well for me".
