- rasz 7y agoIts not bribery, its MCP (Meet Comp Program)! Nowadays its no longer in a form of clear $cash money$ bribe, instead Intel offers cross promotion (including you in their marketing, pushing your product to their clients), bundle deals (buy hiend motherboard, receive CPU and/or SSD for free), or bonuses (sell X amount at $MSRP, receive free product bumping your margins by as much as 20-30%). BTW That $1.45 billion European Commission (EC) penalty? Intel not only never paid that, but actually managed to fight and bribe their way to possibility of overturning it altogether. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/09/06/victory-intel-eu-court-orders-11bn-fine-re-examined/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/09/06/victory-in...
