Do I remember correctly that intel was paying companies for not offering AMD? Like Dell?

You do. 15 years ago though.

The effects live on, unfortunately. Justice was not served as an outcome of that case.

Today, people's mindshare is still largely with Intel, mostly due to nearly 2 decades of associated brand new computers, and performance with Intel, since they were the only offered option 90% of the time.

Think about your typical non-technical person shopping for a computer. "I want Intel, they've always done well for me".

Don't be naive. This only means that they wisened up and made sure they will not be caught for 15 years now.
