Intel guilty in EU for manipulating the market against AMD?

[duploxxx]

Like who? IBM? No. Apple? No. Coca Cola? No. Siemens? No. Samsung? No. Who?

And AMD is only a CPU manufactor due to stolen technology and making clones.

what a nice post to start the day with, a good lauch is always welcome

Feeling a bit blue these days because there is some positive news and competition from AMD?

I would have to write page after page if all companies that did or do unethical business had to be included. You dont become big by being nice.

Also the OP is misleading (surprise). Its allegations, not being guildty in anything (yet).

the OP is correct, perhaps read it again, there is still a question mark behind the sentence.

perhaps also read the full article again, for the EU commission they are already found guilty, now it is just a matter of global approval.

Intel has been entangled in a dispute with EU antitrust regulators since 2001, following a complaint by rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The Brussels-based European Commission accused Intel last July of giving computer sellers “substantial rebates” not to sell machines using AMD chips.

A final ruling may come in the next few weeks, the people said. The commission, the EU’s antitrust authority, allows national competition officials to review decisions before a final ruling is made.

“That’s speculative and we decline to comment,” said Chuck Mulloy, a spokesman for Santa Clara, California-based Intel.

Jonathan Todd, a commission spokesman, said “we have an ongoing antitrust investigation” and declined to comment further.

Fine Amount

EU antitrust officials will disclose the amount of the fine at a meeting with national regulators to discuss the draft decision. The fine must then be approved by the full commission.
