		</div><p>European Union antitrust enforcers have slapped Intel with a fresh €376.4 million fine in a long-running legal fight which the chipmaker appeared to have won last year.</p>
<p>The European Commission imposed the fine after a court threw out an original €1.06 billion penalty issued in 2009 over allegations the company used illegal sales tactics to shut out smaller rival AMD.</p>
<p>The commission, the 27-nation bloc’s top antitrust watchdog, accused Intel of abusing its dominant position in the global market for x86 microprocessors with a strategy to exclude rivals by using rebates and sales restrictions.</p>
<p>The EU’s General Court last year annulled the original decision, saying the commission’s analysis of the rebates did not meet legal standards.</p>
<p>However, the court confirmed the sales restrictions amounted to an abuse of Intel’s dominant market position.</p>
<p>It could not decide how the total fine could be divided up between the two offences, leaving the commission to come up with a new number.</p>
<p>“The lower fine imposed by today’s decision reflects the narrower scope of the infringement compared to the 2009 Commission decision,” the EU watchdog said on Friday.</p>
<p>Intel’s European press team did not respond immediately to an email seeking comment.</p>
