US rival Advanced Micro Devices has sued Intel for using improper subsidies. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Japanese regulators found in March 2005 that Intel abused its monopoly power to exclude fair and open competition. The European Commission has also investigated the offices of Intel and clients. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">The probe in South Korea has focused on whether Intel offered rebates to local clients or pressured them not to buy components from its rivals. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><i>Sapa-AFP<\/i> \u00a0||\u00a0 <\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=37455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><font size=\"2\">Discuss this article<\/font><\/a><font size=\"2\"> <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korean anti-trust regulators have seized documents from Intel Corp&#8217;s office and local clients for a probe into alleged unfair practices by the US semiconductor giant, reports say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-547973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547973"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=547973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547973\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=547973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=547973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=547973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
