Intel Appeals Massive EC Antitrust Fine

In a statement to Betanews this afternoon, a spokesperson for Intel confirmed that the company has filed an appeal of last May’s European Commission ruling, in which the company was fined the equivalent of $1.4 billion for what it found to be antitrust violations. According to spokesperson Chuck Mulloy, Intel’s theory for its appeal is that the EC was prevented from seeing critical and possibly exculpatory documents, on account of an order of the court trying AMD’s civil case against Intel in Delaware.
