New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is investigating possible violations of state and federal antitrust laws by Intel Corp., the world's largest manufacturer of computer microprocessors.
A Cuomo spokesman said subpoenas were being delivered Thursday seeking information on whether Intel coerced customers to exclude Advanced Micro Devices Inc., known as AMD, from the market for a specific computer processing unit.
Cuomo said his preliminary review showed a need for a full investigation.
The subpoenas seek data about Intel's pricing strategies and whether Intel penalized computer makers, cut off competitors' distribution channels, and improperly paid customers for exclusivity.

Not just in New York either, Intel is facing scrutiny worldwide for shady business practices. This is news to me and I'm curious to see how this pans out.
