More scrutiny of Intel's business practices were announced when US regulator
the
Federal
Trade Commission announced an investigation into the world's largest chip
firm's business practices.
Intel is already under
investigation by the
European
Commission and last week it was fined $25m (£12.7m) by a Korean anti-trust
regulator.
The investigators are examining whether or not incentives from Intel to PC
makers to use its chips act as anti-competitive behaviour against rival chip
maker AMD.
Intel holds about 80 per cent of the market for x86 processors.
Sources say that new evidence has emerged which prompted the stepping up of
the US investigation.
In a recent interview with Computing, Intel's UK head Graham Palmer
said "we believe our business practices are entirely ethical."
