especially keyboards and mice

they also are based in china

with very lax copyright protection

Anything for a quick buck

yup

what a coincidence

>Intel gets non-disclosure agreement with manufacturer
>contracts them to build CPUs

Oh man

i'm actually using a cheap knockoff mechanical keyboard i got off amazon

that was so hard

instead of a corsair

because they're basically the same

Free market at work

@Tinker Tom EXACTLY

contracts!

contracts

NIGGER WHAT IS YOUR POINT

contracts protect your IP

all of neweggs rosewell or whatevre brand is "knockoffs"

YEAH

CONTRACTS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF A FREE MARKET

YOU'D UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT ECONOMICS

thank you for understanding tom

now you know why a mutual contract between many companies that protects IP would be beneficial

because it would stop manufacturers (who would need to sign the agreement to do any business with these companies) from just mass producing a knockoff the moment they receive the specs

@Double Negative Yeah, but you don't fucking own the idea. You can make efforts to keep that idea a secret, but if AMD got ahold of Intel's shitty CPU designs from reverse engineering, and then for some reason used a part of it, Intel couldn't do anything

"the idea"
a fully fledged specification sheet for a CPU isnt an "idea"

Ok

Design

Doesn't matter

>if AMD got ahold of Intel's shitty CPU designs from reverse engineering, and then for some reason used a part of it,
i'm pretty sure that's illegal

Call it whatever

Israel has a lot of influence at Intel

@Double Negative It's only illegal in a state regulated economy, I'm saying in a free market

I really doubt they'd let AMD jew them

in a self regulated economy there would be some form of copyright protection that would be almost mandatory to opt into

because nobody wants their unique products being copied

That would suck for Intel
