FTC considers that the behavior of Intel company in the last 10 years repeatedly did damage to competitors and to users. Charge in the limitation of competition on the market for graphical solutions is the freshest, but not only occasion for the advancement of action. Charges in Intel address were accumulated gradually, and now they reached certain critical mass. Which is characteristic, FTC is not assembled to require from Intel the material compensation of damage, but it calls company to restore validity.
FTC requirements are such: Intel must not require buyers the acquisition of its production exclusively, it must not set the dimensions of the minimum party, it must not detain payments or compensation to clients, who use production of other producers. To sell the processors at lower than prime cost company does not also have the right. It cannot extend optimized compilers, who decrease the applications speed of processors, released by Intel company- competitors .
In the opinion of ABI research analysts, advanced BY FTC action will negatively will affect the market share, occupied by Intel atom processors . They must yield a part of market positions to ARM- architecture processors , which are now completely popular in the segment of mobile devices.
