A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging that Intel manipulated the performance benchmark scores for its first-generation Pentium 4 processors and that HP aided and abetted Intel’s allegedly unlawful conduct. Intel and HP deny any liability and all claims of misconduct and Intel contends that the performance benchmarks challenged by Plaintiffs fairly measured the performance of the Pentium 4 processor.
The class in this lawsuit consists of:
All residents of the United States, other than those residing in Illinois, who (i) purchased a new computer equipped with a
Pentium 4 processor, (ii) purchased the computer between
November 20, 2000 and
December 31, 2001, and (iii) purchased the computer for personal, family, or household use;
and
All residents of the United States, other than those residing in Illinois, who (i) purchased a new computer equipped with a first-generation (Willamette) Pentium 4 processor or a Pentium 4 processor at speeds below 2.0 GHz, (ii) purchased the computer between January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002, and (iii) purchased the computer for personal, family, or household use.
Excluded from the Class are Intel’s current and former directors and officers; Intel’s current employees and its employees during the Class Period; Intel’s legal representatives; and any Judge to whom the litigation is assigned and the members of his or her immediate family.
