Target exceeded. In FY 2010, the FTC obtained estimated savings to consumers of approximately $508 million, as calculated
using the average consumer savings of the current fiscal year and the previous three years. The reason that the agency has
exceeded the target by such a margin is in large part attributable to one particular case, which involved Intel Corporation*,
the world’s leading computer chip maker, who was charged with illegally using its dominant market position for a decade to
stifle competition and strengthen its monopoly. Data Source: Estimates of consumer savings associated with nonmerger actions
are prepared by the lead attorney responsible for an individual investigation, and subsequently subject to review by staff
economists. In the absence of case specific information (such as price and sales data), the estimate is generated using the
volume of commerce in the affected markets as a basis for the calculation
