Die schmutzige Wahrheit über Intels Geschäftspraktiken

In der letzten zeit stellte sich Intel immer wieder gegen die verhängte Strafe seitens der EU-Komission, man plädierte auf viel Eigenverschulden seitens AMD, gestern hat die EU-Komission ein Dokument veröffentlicht, das dieses Argument quasi aushebelt:

Einige kleine Auszüge:

"Intel rebates to Dell from December 2002 to December 2005 were conditioned on Dell purchasing exclusively Intel CPUs. For example, in an internal Dell presentation of February 2003, Dell noted that should Dell switch any part of its CPU supplies from Intel to its competitor AMD, Intel retaliation "could be severe and prolonged with impact to all LOBs [Lines of Business]."

"Intel rebates to HP from November 2002 to May 2005 were conditioned in particular on HP purchasing no less than 95% of its CPU needs for business desktops from Intel"

"Intel rebates to Lenovo during year 2007 were conditioned on Lenovo purchasing its CPU needs for its notebook segment exclusively from Intel. For example, in a December 2006 e-mail, a Lenovo executive stated: "Late last week Lenovo cut a lucrative deal with Intel. As a result of this, we will not be introducing AMD based products in 2007 for our Notebook products"."
