Intel abused its dominant position in Europe by giving customers incentives
to favour its products over those of its main competitor, regulators
allege.
The initial findings of a probe by the European Commission has concluded the
chip firm engaged in anti-competitive action to thwart principal rival AMD.
Regulators have the power to fine Intel up to 10% of annual turnover if they
find it guilty of stifling competition.
Intel said it was "confident" it had acted lawfully.
Inducements
Outlining its case against Intel, the Commission said it believed its
conduct had been "aimed at excluding AMD from the market".
It accused the world's largest chipmaker of giving rebates to customers
provided they bought Intel products and offering incentives to companies to
delay or cancel products containing AMD technology.
Furthermore, it said Intel had offered microchips for computer servers at
below cost.
