Its a big lawsuit but will not do much to break the stranglehold of tech advances Intel is pouring on.
Intel can't fight an ATI IBM merger. As IBM would lose ALOT ALOT ALOT of money in the process. For the first 2 years IBM would just slap some CELL and POWER line advancements on Athlon and Phenom Chips and ship them cheaply to gain money to pay for the merger.
Intel may complain but that will be drowned out by people having to pay 1500 USD for Core i7 whatever builds by then.
Core I7 prices are insane.
