NVidia, AMD Subpoenaed In Antitrust Investigation 132
mustardayonnaise writes "CNN Money is reporting that graphics chipmakers Nvidia and AMD (who recently acquired NVidia rival ATI) said Friday that they received subpoenas from the US Department of Justice as part of a probe into potential antitrust violations involving graphics processing units and cards. Each company controls about 25% of the entire graphics chip market. According to the article, Intel, who makes their own fair share of graphics chipsets, has yet to be included in the investigation."

From TFA: "To my knowledge, we haven't gotten a subpoena ourselves ... but I'm not 100 percent certain," said Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy, adding he was checking with company lawyers to confirm.
You know, as an investor, I'd rather go with the company that has been subpoened over the one that can't quite be sure!

I'm probably one of the bigger tin-foil-hat-wearers around here when it comes to Microsoft, and not even I would believe something like that. You're just flat-out crazy, buddy.
