Intel criticizes the 376 million euro EU fine from a 16-year-old antitrust case as 'irrational, unfair, and disproportionate'.
The fine, imposed in 2023, originated from Intel blocking competition in the x86 computer processor market from rival AMD back in 2009.
The General Court upheld the fine related to Intel imposing 'naked restrictions' by paying certain companies to halt or delay non-Intel products.
The Commission and Intel presented their arguments regarding the fine size, with Intel claiming the violations were of limited scope and not part of a broader strategy.
