FTC Sues Intel for 'Anticompetitive Tactics'

It looks like the Federal Trade Commission is moving forward with its lawsuit against Intel for "Anticompetitive Tactics."

The FTC argued in a release that Intel's tactics "have stifled innovation and harmed consumers." The agency also claimed that the company "has waged a systematic campaign to shut out rivals' competing microchips by cutting off their access to the marketplace." "In the process, Intel deprived consumers of choice and innovation in the microchips that comprise the computers' central processing unit, or CPU," the FTC said. "These chips are critical components that often are referred to as the 'brains' of a computer."
