For Intel and AMD companies, it recently was possible to remove all mutual claims, connected with the anti monopolistic trial and the rights to the intellectual property. AMD obtained from Intel 1.25 billion dollars. Given results, obviously, could inspire some Intel competitors, and NVIDIA company , for example, expressed its dissatisfaction with the price policy of processor giant with respect to alternative platforms for atom processors.
Federal commission for trade IN USA advanced the new charges against Intel, this time being concerned with graphical solutions . Intel is the most important producer of integrated chipset, and therefore, it can use its position for manipulations.
First , Intel company is charged with overstating prices of atom processors for those producers, who reject to acquire them in the complete set with their own chipset Intel. Last company declares, that its price policy completely satisfies the requirements of laws - collections of chipset and processors for netbook and nettop are sold on the higher price than the prime cost.
The second charge, advanced by federal organ USA against Intel company , refers to NVIDIA company. As it is known, companies argue around the license to the right to release chipset for Intel processors with the integrated memory controller . Intel declares, that it attempted to agree with NVIDIA for a period of year and more, but common language for companies could not be found.
