Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens and soft media users for 1520111 clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 24 (Xinhua) Intel has been fined 376.4 million euros (CTOnews.com Note: about 2.925 billion yuan) by the European Union for violating the anti-monopoly law. It is said that the company's monopoly can be traced back to the early 21st century.

The European Commission said that between 2002 and 2006, Intel paid Hewlett-Packard, Acer and Lenovo to stop or delay the launch of products containing chips made by Intel competitors.

In the year of Pixabay2009, the European Union's second High Court ruled that Intel had committed unfair competition and other practices, accusing Intel of preventing competitor AMD from entering the market and fined 1.06 billion euros (currently about 8.236 billion yuan).

To put it simply, the fine was originally part of the 1.06 billion euro penalty, but the EU General Court annulled the penalty decision in 2022 because the court only partially endorsed the penalty decision. The EU said the new, smaller fines resulted from narrowing the scope of previously identified anti-competitive behaviour.

"the ordinary court confirmed that Intel's naked restrictions amount to an abuse of its dominant market position under EU competition rules," the European Commission said in a statement. "

Intel said it was evaluating options. "We are analyzing this decision and the amount of fines to determine possible grounds for appeal and prospects for success, and appeal to the European Court of Justice."

At present, Intel is waiting for the European Commission to approve nearly 10 billion euros of German factory subsidies. In addition, the European Commission appealed last year against another decision of the ordinary Court of Justice on Intel's conditional refund in the European Court of Justice.
