Investigation and pending class action lawsuit against Intel Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company on behalf of a nationwide class of consumers who purchased or leased a Pentium 4 microprocessor or a computer containing a Pentium 4 microprocessor with clock speeds ranging from 1.3 to 1.8 gigahertz.
This class action lawsuit alleges that Intel released the Pentium 4 prematurely, and that Intel and HP marketed the Pentium 4 to create the impression that the Pentium 4 outperformed the latest Pentium III, when they knew it did not. The lawsuit further alleges that Intel and HP exploited consumers' reasonable expectation that the Pentium 4 would outperform the cheaper Pentium III by charging premium prices for the Pentium 4.
