Seven years ago, Intel was hit with a $1.19 billion for bad practices against rival AMD. It had been providing rebates to Dell, HP, and Lenovo for buying the majority of chips from Intel, rather than its competitors. “The effects of these practices were complementary, in that they significantly diminished competitors’ ability to compete on the merits of their x86 CPUs,” said the general court in Luxembourg. “Intel’s anti-competitive conduct thereby resulted in a reduction of consumer choice and in lower incentives to innovate....
