Intel lawsuit had a relationship with quite a large overestimation of the performance of the new Pentium 4. With the help of specially prepared benchmarks manufacturer showed that these systems are much faster processor than competitive Thunderbird Athlon AMD.
Meanwhile, as we know the truth turned out to be completely different and the Pentium 4 was one of the the worst systems. Quickly it became apparent that the new Intel mildly deviate from the performance to the manufacturer, because a group of well-known lawyers sued the company and for more than a decade fighting for compensation for the misleading of consumers.
Finally managed to lead to a settlement, under which the purchaser of computers with Pentium 4, who have become their own in the period from 20 November 2000 to 31 December 2001 he can count on $ 15 compensation. Interestingly, you do not need to have a purchase receipt, as indeed it is quite understandable, in the end, after so many years, it is difficult to require that anyone else had them – just so the only report that bought such a PC.
Intel in addition to compensation for customers also pay $ 4 million for charity.
