PC owners sue Intel, OEMs over P4 claims August 19 2002 Intel, Gateway and Hewlett-Packard face a class action lawsuit filed against them by a group of computer owners who allege the companies misled them into believing the Pentium 4 is a superior processor to the Pentium III and the AMD Athlon. A report in PC World says the complaint was filed in the third judicial circuit in Madison County, Illinois. A ruling has yet to be made on whether the case comes under state or federal jurisdiction. PCWorld said it had received a copy of the complaint from an anonymous source. The complaint claims that the public were deceived by the marketing of the P4 and alleges that there is no benefit to consumers who choose the P4 over the PIII. It also alleges that the P4 is slower and less powerful than the PIII or the AMD Athlon.
