Intel - AMD = Antitrust - Subsidies
The European Commission's recent fine on Intel indirectly favoring AMD reminded us of another case that can help us understand the relationship between Infineon and Qimonda, namely the relationship between AMD, based in the USA, and its spinoff Globalfoundries, based in Dresden, Germany, but apparently already also with a highly subsidized manufacturing facility in Malta, NY.
In order to gain a first insight into this case, please take a look at a comment on a newsrelease about the fine clicking here, or copying and pasting it on the address line of your web browser:

Apparently the EU fine would just be a move against Intel and in favor of its EU highly subsidized rival AMD/Globalfoundries.
Any comments, confirming or infirming the data and views laid out in this link, especially on the business model in place between AMD and its spinoff Globalfoundries, apparently different from the one linking Qimonda/Portugal and Qimonda/Germany, are most welcome.
