Good. It's well deserved. If anything, they should be looking into Intel's deep subsidies for Atom, to make it reach price-parity with ARM chip competition, to the point where it's causing them losses of $1 billion every quarter.

That's not how a "normal" business usually operates. Imagine if Apple started subsidizing its high-end iPhones by $450, selling them at $200, unlocked, to eliminate most competition (since you could buy a $650 phone for $200), simply because they could do that with their cash reserves. Yet this is exactly what Intel is doing right now.
