"Statistical Analysis of Intel intra platform product routing by Dealer computer brand model in International Data Group’s PC World Top PC Sales Racket follows.
Note: Post rebated fee year 2008 level market high = 233%; market average = 166%."

" Statistical analysis reveals some Intel dealers and publishing agents are cheating their organic probabilities.
That is by placing more of certain Intel Inside branded PCs for sale given their known high level of commission values waiting media release from dealer rebate fee pools accumulating for Intel Insider charge back.
The Media Agent’s sales reward is paid for moving computer brand models to consumer from stocks and discharging their effect on the supply system in exchange for the charge back value.
Through this function Media Sales Agent register Intel product movement from Dealer stocks reporting back to Intel for their ‘metered’ sales reward; the commission.
Method 2 on Media Agent Percentage of Total Editor’s Choice Awards
Statistical Analysis of Editor’s Choice skew on intra platform product routing by Dealer Computer Brand Model, April 1987 through August 2008, in the Bill Ziff Davis Cartel, PC Magazine, PC Sales Racket:
Please consider PC Dealer Analysis using Method 1; for PC Magazine; PC Company comparison solely on product review space, allocated to 48 companies across 104 issues.
Frequency of product review space placement mean average is 0.02083.
Time Period is February 2000 through August 2008.
Above, comparing skew on Editors Choice to space allocation reveals Intel Dealing Group, tied by the charge back, to PC Magazine Media Sales Agent channel.
Findings from Decomposition of Intel Economics
Decomposing components of the Intel Economics Simulation has revealed a number of hidden aspects concerning Intel’s business, the PC Dealing Combination and Media Cartels who are and have been Intel’s primary business partners.
First, Intel's primary business is not the microprocessor or compute platform business. Intel's primary business is selling product routes that PC Companies bid on and
Media Sales Agent’s determine their future case flows on.
Obviously this form of racketeering restrains inter brand computer and PC platform, and x86 microprocessor price competition, and is a per se illegal under the Sherman Act, Clayton Act, Title 48 pursuant to GSA procurement including the 1986 anti kick back Act.
The power of Intel to fix the price of the product which it manufacturers with a tied charge back, which broker dealers and agents scramble to benefit from, and to whom all have been and are actual or potential competitors is a powerful inducement to abandon competition.
Active and vigorous competition then tends to be impaired, not from any preference of the end buyer for an Intel microprocessor based computer, but from the preference of Intel broker dealers and agents to accrue the benefits of a tied rebate matched by that broker dealer, and charged back to Intel, for payment to media agents on every future computer sale.
This analyst believes on the weight of findings, FTC Docket 9341 First Amended Complaint will add forms of Intel price fixing to government current claims.
Precariously, some individuals within FTC might also now be threatened by Intel Network; to bury the case and its anticipated affirmative outcomes.
When Intel Network has a history of hooligans sent in to remind competitors how to compete, and for this Docket 9341 case, the post FTC employment and Bar potentials of either competing, or not competing with Intel Network.
Second, the Quanda is relied upon by Intel PC Dealers to determine which Intel microprocessor product routes to bid on given Intel searching for highest price taker.
Savvy procurement can use the Quanda to simulate the optimum microprocessor routes to
jockey purchases given their revenue, margin potential and Intel retrospective sales rewards including the sales system tying charge back value.
Third, horizontal competitors operating under a Cournet economic assumption rely on the Quanda for determining their Nash equilibrium; which isn't under Intel methods of selling at and less then Average Fixed Cost.
Nor does an oligopoly welfare space exist in many Intel microprocessor production short runs.
Fourth, Intel media sales agents including the Bill Ziff Davis Cartel used the model to calculate their revenue and sales commissions from Intel and PC Dealers; retrospectively, up to two years in advance.
Media knows values misrepresented in Intel and Dealer financials as Intel Inside marketing expense are 100% recoverable by them; as a sales commission for pushing computers onto consumers for the Intel Inside tied kickback.
As they did very successfully for 15 years until the model disintegrated under Intel production constraints and a distribution channel reconfiguration. Approximately 2005/6 Intel Inside tied charge back morphs into the first Dollar discount scheme. First dollar discount values also need to be calculated.
The $22.657 billion Intel Insides tied charge back value from January 1, 1999 through program end in 2006/7 remains fully recoverable by FTC. Intel Inside tied charge back is addressed within Docket 9341 claims, discounts & rebates, for whom this analyst is the FTC documented original source.
By FTC Record this analyst is also believed original source concerning some Intel benchmark rigging claims addressed in Docket 9341.
Where this analyst was previously responsible for designing patches that worked around some rigged benchmark’s in efforts with PC User Groups across the country; as a Cyrix, NexGen, AMD and IDT Centaur employee or consultant.
This includes Docket 9288 field reports concerning Intel run time benchmark rig and PC User group work around. ""
