As expected, the European Commission has imposed a fine on chipmaker Intel for abusing its dominant position in the CPU marketplace and engaging in illegal rebates and other practices in order to squelch rival chipmaker AMD. What’s surprising is the size of the fine: €1.06 billion, which converts to roughly $1.45 billion U.S. dollars.
