[god_43]

The FTC has announced that it is modifying the terms of the settlement between it and Intel. The modified terms of the settlement will allow Intel to launch its Oak Trail platform aimed at portable devices like tablets, thin notebooks, and netbooks. The terms of the settlement with the FTC stated that Intel has to include the PCI Express interface in upcoming platforms as a way to allow competing companies to interface without fearing that performance was degraded.
