Intel Pentium4 lawsuit settled, will pay $15 to anyone who bought a P4 or P4 computer, no proof needed

[Ronshere]

Intel has finally settled their Pentium 4 fraudulent claims suit. As a result you can get a whopping $15 back if you purchased a P4 or Pentium 4 computer.

"You might be eligible for $15 cash If you bought a computer with a Pentium 4 processor between November 20, 2000 and June 30, 2002.
"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.

I'm going to file and get my $15, too bad I can't just give it to AMD. I might never buy another Intel product again.
(as I type this on an i7 laptop).

I bought one of these (1.7Ghz Willamette), but cant claim due to being in the UK.

Move over to here, everyone else is

So basically almost anyone in the US (excluding residents of Illinois) can file a claim against Intel without any proof.

I wonder how many of those claims will be fraudulent.

Since I never followed this lawsuit, I have no opinion about it.

My money says this is the same sort of spam as the "redbull gives you wings" lawsuit

Edit: also why can't Illinoisans claim this?

This applies only to those who purchased Willamette core microprocessors. It does not apply to the subsequent litany of Northwood and Prescott microprocessors.

Yeah, I drank thousands upon thousands of Redbull cans and I never even grew a feather. Redbull crushed my dreams of being able to fly south for the winter without having to buy an airline ticket. I deserve a refund.


I am thinking about filing a class action lawsuit against McDonalds because eating their Happy Meals does not actually make me feel happy. That is clearly false advertisement on McD's part. Anyone wanna band together to push this class action lawsuit through?

It's only for people who bought a Willamette computer. I also live in Canada, so the lawsuit doesn't apply to me.
