New York Investigates Intel for Anticompetitive Marketing

Cuomo is seeking information from both Intel and AMD related to claims that Intel penalized manufacturers for purchasing CPUs from competitors, paid OEMs for exclusivity and threatened to cut off supplies to computer makers who didn’t play ball.
