... In 2007, a federal judge ordered Intel to produce electronic documents that if stacked in a pile would have been an estimated 137 miles high. Not only a lot of documents were at stake. In a settlement, Intel paid arch-rival Advanced Micro Devices $1.25 billion for antitrust violations in the chip-maker market.
