U.S. files antitrust suit against Intel, alleges unfair tactics used against rivals

The FTC isn't seeking monetary damages from Intel. "We are frankly more focused on conduct," Richard Feinstein, director of the FTC's bureau of competition, said in a news conference. Such remedies could include forcing Intel to share intellectual property with competitors.

As I predicted, the FTC isn't one to issue fines unlike the EU. Still a bit surprising they found Intel guilty at all.

Kind of don't see the point in this then. They find them guilty and all they get is a slap on the wrist and one guy might lose his/her job.

Seems kinda pointless to me.

Unless I am missing something, if I am do tell.

A fine is a slap on the wrist. In a lot of scenarios, it is more profitable to act illegally and pay the fine than to act legally not be fined. What the FTC does is like probation--screw up and you go to corporate jail. If the business doesn't comply with the FTC ruling, they have many options to take to force compliance with antitrust law.

This may also cascade to other issues like Intel denying a licence to NVIDIA for QuickPath Interconnect and Intel's right to restrict who has access to the x86 licence (Intel holds almost 90% of the market share and that will only worsen unless Intel is not allowed to choke hold the market through licencing). The ruling essentially sets precedent establishing that Intel holds a monopoly.
