A class-action lawsuit filed in Santa Clara County, California, alleged that Hewlett-Packard and Intel misled the public by misrepresenting the performance capabilities of the Intel Pentium 4 processor. In July 2014, it was reported that the lawsuit settled with Intel agreeing to pay $15 to every U.S. consumer who purchased a computer equipped with a first-generation Pentium 4 processor between November 20, 2000 and June 30, 2002. Intel also agreed to pay $4 million to a computer and education nonprofit. As part of the settlement, plaintiffs agreed to release HP from all claims of liability.
