Could explain the P4 hypeburgers.
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.
