This statement is not correct. They were determined by a investigative body to be in violation. That body had no enforcement power. Intel's side was never presented because the remedy was trivial.

Japan's FTC investigated Intel's business practices and issued a ruling. You're wriggling.

Is this proof? Of course not but AMD is involved in an anti-trust investigation, not Intel.

Actually, Intel is involved in several anti-trust investigations.

Germany/EU, South Korea...

What a turnaround this year has been!!!!!!

Getting a little ahead of yourself???????

Ephud,

I've got a couple of questions...how can you prove price fixing given that there were no huge profits obtained. How is the consumer harmed in this case if all the money was re-invested into R&D and support for the consumer? Given that intel has been making the lion's share of profits couldn't they easily have re-invested some of those profits into better graphics processors? Inquiring minds want to know...
