Intel pays Dell 6 million dollar in rebate for 5 years long since 2007 as a return of not to install any AMD chips in their laptops, just Intel chips. IBM and Hp is among the list of laptop makers that receive large money from Intel, paying them so that those laptop makers will not install AMD chips in any of their laptops. I saw this as dirty trick done by Intel, thus Intel draws their own bad business image. Its a cowardy image.
Further news said that Intel also has paid several laptop maker in Europe to delay launch date of AMD products,EU than filed a lawsuit against Intel, Intel has to pay €3.45 billion Euros on May 2009. That's for doing unfair business. [ source TomsHardware ]
