The European Commission has filed anti-trust charges against the world's largest chip maker, Intel, accusing it of using coercion to eliminate its leading rival from the market place. The commission says that Intel offered discounts to a major European personal computer distributor to favour its products over rival AMD. Intel has eight weeks to respond to the latest complaints. If the findings are sustained, Brussels could impose a substantial fine on the company.
