New York Attorney Gen. Goes After Intel...
The attorney general of New York, Andrew M. Cuomo, filed a federal antitrust lawsuit Wednesday against Intel, the world’s largest chip maker. Cuomo is alleging that the world's biggest microprocessor manufacturer conducted "an illegal campaign to deprive AMD of distribution channels."
Mr. Cuomo said in a statement, "Rather than compete fairly, Intel used bribery and coercion to maintain a stranglehold on the market," Intel’s actions not only unfairly restricted potential competitors, but also hurt average consumers who were robbed of better products and lower prices."
The detailed 83-page complaint [PDF download] alleges that Intel "engaged in a systematic worldwide campaign of illegal, exclusionary conduct to maintain its monopoly power and prices in the market for x86 microprocessors." The suit has sections explaining Intel's supposed undue influence with Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and IBM.
