News Nvidia Officially Increases European Prices on RTX 30-Series

[Conahl]

This is a clickbait rant from -some guy on the internet- so why would there even be any reason to refute it?

yea ok sure, and so are all of your anti amd rants ? after all you are just some " random guy on the internet " as well...... but at least he was getting paid for his time

oh so bribes and threats are also part of " only common business practice but also just common sense " ? come on terry, you can do better then that 🙂

all of his "proof" is screen grabs from his own videos and other clickbait videos and articles all of which offer opinions only.

i guess you just dont like seeing your beloved intel be called out on its BS and marketing manipulation, like it did with that 28 all core 5 ghz fiasco that they hid the chiller for that was cooling it down ? that was his own screen grabs and opions, this was FACT, others reported on this, even Anandtech had a post on it... nice try

Obviously if the OEM would divide their orders they would be smaller orders from intel so they would have smaller discounts and maybe also later shipments.

yea, cause of the bribes and threats, they didnt order from amd, so they wouldnt loose the discounts, special prices, kickbacks, etc.....

Intel already won an appeal in 2017 where the the EU’s highest court, the Court of Justice agrees that intel did no such thing, there where no bribes and threats in the first place, but even the rebates and discounts where completely legal.

Major victory for Intel as CJEU sends case back to General Court for re-examination - Kluwer Competition Law Blog

On 6 September, the EU’s highest court, the Court of Justice (CJEU), released its long-awaited decision in the Intel case, in which the Commission imposed a fine of €1.06 billion – at the time, the largest fine ever imposed by a competition regulator on an individual company. This is a very...

Yes it was fact that this 28 core CPU was running at 5Ghz all core.

We had a dozen CPU makers in the 90' where progress was cheap(ish) and profit was high because the market share each of them had was enough to pay for the cheap progress, the harder it gets to make any progress the less money the companies make the more companies go bye bye.

We still have a dozen CPU designers today, they're just working on different versions of multi-vendor ISAs like ARM, MIPS and RISCV instead of their own exclusive in-house ISAs from the Alpha, PA and Itanium days. There would likely be more x86-64 players if Intel wasn't such a bitch with refusing to license the ISA to anybody it isn't required to under threat of massive antitrust penalties - endless licensing disputes, heavy fees and anticompetitive market tactics are how Intel killed most of its competitors and forced most of the remainder to limit their x86 presence to legacy support.

thats fine and dandy, too bad the FTC in the US didnt agree and still forced intel to pay amd 1.25 billion. for it anti competitive practices : https://www.reuters.com/article/us-intel-amd-idUSTRE5AB2LL20091112

you sure about that ? seems 2 years later the EU STILL fined intel for it : After quite some time, the investigation has wrapped up and the European Commission has made it's ruling: Intel has been found guilty of violating EU antitrust laws, and has been fined €1.06bil ($1.45bil) for past actions and ordered to stop any ongoing anti-competitive practices

you can fine more about this by simply typing intel lost to amd FTC ruling in google. fact it, your beloved intel, has done things it shouldnt have to stiffle compitition, and limit its competitors, and was caught for it.

Yes it was fact that this 28 core CPU was running at 5Ghz all core.

yea to bad the FACT is, intel HAD TO HIDE the industrial chiller that was NEEDED to cool that chip down so it can run all 28 cores at 5 ghz. and when it was found out, thats where the fiasco came about as posed here and here

intel is known for is market manipulation, PR BS, and doing any thing it can to make it self look better, and keep its profits.

Don't you read your own articles you link? You literally linked a settlement between the parties, not an adjudication that resulted in an adverse ruling by the FTC. There are a number of useful legal dictionaries; Black's is still the standard, but there are other good options if you just want to learn the basic terminology.
