Intel was raided!

[Jumping_Bean514]

"Chuck Mulloy, a spokesman for Intel, said the regulators raided the company's office in Munich, Germany.

Mr Mulloy said Intel was co-operating with the investigators.

Intel has been accused of trying to abuse its dominant market position by selling its products below cost price and making cash payments to customers."

Its hard to think that Intel would need to do some of the things listed in the article to beat AMD. I put my money on the charges being dropped.

giving rebates to customers provided they bought Intel products

Since when is that a crime?

and offering incentives to companies to delay or cancel products containing AMD technology.

Now that definitely sounds a bit too aggressive

 

[Apokalipse]

giving rebates to customers provided they bought Intel products [ONLY, and exclude AMD products]

Since when is that a crime?

since anti-monopoly laws were put in place.
