AMD, Nvidia, in DoJ probe
p2pnet.net News:- AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) and Nvidia have been subpoenaed in a potential US Department of Justice anti-trust violation investigation.
“AMD announced that it had received its subpoena on Thursday afternoon, and Nvidia made its corresponding announcement on Friday morning. No specific allegations have been made against either company,” says CNET News.
DoJ spkeswoman Gina Talamona is quoted as saying the DoJ is looking into possible anti-competitive practices within the “graphics processing unit and cards” industry.
“She declined to comment on specific companies involved in the investigation or what was sought in the subpoena,” says the story, adding:
“This would appear, at first glance, to exclude Intel’s huge integrated graphics business. Intel is actually the largest supplier of PC graphics technology by virtue of the integrated graphics chips that it ships with its chipsets. An Intel representative said the company did not receive a subpoena from the DOJ related to the investigation.”
