MUNICH, Germany — Intel's German headquarters in Feldkirchen near Munich has been raided by EU antitrust officials. The raid is probably connected to the ongoing EU antitrust probe.

Intel acknowledged the fact that its offices have been searched through. A spokesperson pointed out that the company fully cooperates with the authorities but declined to provide further details. She said no other Intel offices in Germany shave been subject to the search.

The raid could be connected to the allegations AMD has raised against Intel in the past years. The EC antitrust authorities have launched an examination past July. The Intel spokesperson however declined to elaborate if the raid was connected to these charges.

According to media reports here, also other chip vendors as well as several PC resellers have been raided. From the EC antitrust office nobody was available for comment.

READER OFFER

This month Keithley Instruments is giving away two of its Model 2200 power supplies, worth 735 Euros each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The Model 2200-20-5: 20V, 5A, 100W on offer is one of five general-purpose programmable DC power supplies recently launched by the company, designed for source measurement instruments for component, module, and device characterization and test applications.

Part of the Series 2200 family, the unit’s voltage output accuracy is specified at 0.03% and its current output accuracy is 0.05%. The supply’s high output (1mV) and measurement (0.1mA) resolution makes it well-suited for characterizing low power circuits and devices in applications such as measuring idle mode and sleep mode currents to confirm devices can meet today’s ever-more-challenging goals for energy efficiency.

And the winners are:

In our previous reader offer, EPC was giving away ten of its EPC9002 development board kits, worth USD 95 each.
Lucky winners include  I. Blythe and C. Hardman from the UK, M. Casartelli and D. Cogliati from Italy, C. Cossio from Spain, W. Milarch from Germany, r. Milewicz from Poland, M. Prascak from Slovakia, A. Raidl from Austria and M. Taslakov from Bulgaria.
All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
