The European Commission has re-imposed a fine of around €376.36 million on Intel for a previously established abuse of dominant position in the market for computer chips called x86 central processing units (‘CPUs’). Intel engaged in a series of anticompetitive practices aimed at excluding competitors from the relevant market in breach of EU antitrust rules.

With today’s decision, we are re-imposing a €376.36 million fine on Intel for having abused its dominant position in the computer chips market. Intel paid its customers to limit, delay or cancel the sale of products containing computer chips of its main rival. This is illegal under our competition rules. Our decision shows the Commission’s commitment to ensure that very serious antitrust breaches do not go unsanctioned. - Commissioner Didier Reynders, in charge of competition policy

    Even if you were correct, your obnoxious attitude would make me not care anyway. I’ll keep being ignorant.

    Summarized pretty much what you said there. I’m not even exaggerating as that’s what you literally said, and honestly, your first sentence is just pathetic. You deliberately say that you’re choosing to be ignorant because you took it personally when I said mean things about your bad Intel purchase.

    I don’t see how we can have a discussion given you deal in “even if you were correct” statements so guess have a nice day.
