But that would be retroactive and not help AMD. But what helps AMD in advance is the data center landscape. How would Intel force Google, Microsoft and Amazon to use their server processors in their custom servers for their cloud data centers? They can compete on price (though price dumping could alert regulators again), but Intel has zero influence on those three. Thus we see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20643604.
And smaller OEMs should be hard to pressure given the history and hard to mislead given the big companies validating AMDs processors.
Regular vendors for desktops and laptops are already offering AMD, so there seems to be limited danger there.
Also, Intel is operating under a consent decree and FTC supervision until October 29, 2020. The FTC would come down hard on direct violations of the decree.
