Low prices happen naturally in a free market, you don't need a cartel giving out illegal rebates. If Intel isn't fined and forced to obey the law they'll dominate the market (too late). They'll be able to force competition into bankruptcy by making them sell off fabs and other assets to raise capital (opps). Eventually there won't be any competition so the rebates will end, prices will skyrocket and people will AMD is out of business.
