If you read Agner Fog's old "Cripple AMD" thread from 2009, when he actually served as a FTC witness, you will see that his later updates in 2010-11 shows no reduction in behavior of this kind on Intel's side. If Intel were to comply, this would've been a solved problem.

What we are seeing has to be a new deal.
