I did read the FTC and AMD court case part, I'm not a lawyer, but has this made it impossible to go after Intels compilers in the USA ?
Apart from paying some cash to AMD and promising not to hurt AMD, they never stopped crippling the compiler, and I'm wondering what kind of non-techies have allowed this to continue, because anybody who has ever written a piece of code, understands that this compiler stuff is done on purpose and is unnecessary, they do not have to explicitly optimize for non-Intel CPUs to allow non Intel CPUs to take the best possible code path, the only thing they need to do, is not kill a CPU code path based on the CPUs brand name.The EU is still in a court case with Intel, although that seems to be about giving rebates to Dell, HP, NEC & Lenovo, for not selling AMD products: fortune.com/2016/10/20/intel-eu-antitrust-fine/
I'm wondering if the EU trade commission, has looked in to the compiler story, I'm going to take a look where I can send an email that reaches the EU, to take a look at this blog and the compiler shenanigans. |
