That was what I was getting at.

I'm surprised that you think AMD doesn't. But there is an economic reason for it, if it is true. They probably can't afford to mistreat their employees as much as Intel, as Intel can just throw money at people, while AMD has its asabiyya.

Hell, even in this market, won't they just go work for Qualcomm or AMD?

The power of these companies is much greater than is yours. They can just team up and decide that they're going to do something, and there's nothing that you can do about it.
