    TR reports that it was for an old chipset for Intel CPUs that the former ATI used to make.

    I'm looking at jumping from Android to WPx... as it is, I am running the free WP7 Launcher on my Android that makes using the phone so much easier than the default Android one.

    I see postings from WP7 owners wishing the titles would rotate with the phone (As we know, not even iOS and Android does this)...

    But there is the cool thing, the WP7 Launcher for Android *DOES* rotate the tiles - which not only looks cool, its handy and allows you to read the titles. Of course the wide titles can't rotate, but this function would SO be worth it.

    #*&!@#$%!

    my tabs jumped and I thought I was responding to another story.

    Disregard.

    PS: Sounds more like a Quanta issue.

    I say Intel is fronting quanta to sue AMD in exchange Intel offers discounts on marketing and makes them a premier supplier for ultrabook chipsets...

    Yeah I am way out there in left field..

    Looks like AMD's very own "bumpgate". What goes around comes around.

    What?! How does this at all compare to Bumpgate, and how is it Karma? What goes around comes around? Sorry but that post makes you look extremely uninformed, and a bit of a fanboy who has it out for AMD.

    Bumpgate was a general problem with nVidia GPU's caused by a faulty design flaw. This is one computer manufacturer, complaining about an undisclosed chip, and it's mentioned NEC has used the same chip without issues.

    He's more than alittle out there hating AMD. I guess you don't reconize the name. He's been banned so many times i'm very surprised he's still around. He's in love with nVidia and Intel and outright hates anything ATI/AMD. So your fanboy remark about him is 110% true.

    There's also the "Scali" punk running around claiming that the bulldozer CMT design performs no better than intel SMT (hyper-threading)...

    I've actually seen several instances of these insane fanboys claiming that they have been paid by Intel to post "nice remarks".

    I wonder.

    Not trying to pick sides but Quanta is the largest ODM (original design manufacture) out there for laptops. If a particular batch of AMD chips were bad/not accurate on their tdp wouldn't that show up in multiple computers that Quanta design for, not just NEC. I seriously doubt Quanta would have not used the same batch of AMD chips for other computers such as Hp, Dell, Acer, etc.

    Sure NEC may have complained to Quanta originally, high return rates on a particular line, resulting on NEC wanting a refund from Quanta, Quanta then passing the buck to AMD (resulting in this lawsuit), but if a particular batch was really that bad shouldn't Quanta should be able to show this with multiple brands of laptops not just the NEC ones that Quanta built.

    Sounds like Quanta is looking for a free lunch. Don't think they will be too successful with this suit.
