Intel has been charged by EU and fined for anti-competitive prices. The fine is largest to date, reaching the sum of $1.06 billion, and establishes that Intel has been paying off manufacturers and retailers to use Intel chips instead of AMD.

    these asswipes have been stealing the part of the market that was really meant to be competed against with AMD. Instead, Intel invested in their “relationships” with retailers and marketing departments with their cute “Intel chip here” as if it means something.

    They are disgusting and would steal to get ahead. This is apparently how you get ahead, but it doesn’t mean it’s right.
