intel in trouble

I don't think this is going to dissuade Intel from these types of tactics. The state that they believe they acted lawfully, and go on to state "consumer-friendly".

What they did just seems like regular ol' business tactics to me.
 
Give me a break, okay then why isn't ATI in trouble for offering free Steam games when you own a Radeon card :rolleyes: AMD is a bunch of immature ppl, now I am not going to buy a chip from them, I was thinking about it but, if this happens, nope. Why aren't these car dealerships that have big clearance sales in trouble?

Because in the GPU market, both ATI and nVidia have a similar share of the market. However, Intel dominates the CPU market due to it's massive bank account, and the EU is there to maintain a level of competition, so the consumers don't lose out when company a destroys company b - this could be in any market at all, not just the processor market (look at OS market for example - EU has already charged Microsoft massive amounts).
 
Well they currently have the best product for the lowest prices on the market, so success can be interpreted as abuse if it is sudden.
 
I think most of you are missing out on some important points. First of all, price cutting below cost just to force another out of business has always been considered an unethical business practice. This is going further than just selling items at a discounted price.

Also, there was this part:
It accused the world's largest chipmaker of... offering incentives to companies to delay or cancel products containing AMD technology.

That right there, if it's true, is just plain wrong.
 
I think everything is business. But I agree with PoyTayToez if they are offering incentives to companies to delay or cancle products containg amd technology thats just wrong.

Good point, its one thing to sell a good product at a good price to raise your sells, but if your selling at (under) cost and offering (more) to a company to not sell your competitors products just trying to put them under, that pretty under handed.
 
they might of paid the online retailers to fluctuate the price of their processor to make up for the lost of selling below cost lolz.
