Intel, the world's biggest computer chipmaker, has been raided by European Union competition regulators amid claims it abused its market position.

Chuck Mulloy, a spokesman for Intel, said the regulators raided the company's office in Munich, Germany.

Mr Mulloy said Intel was co-operating with the investigators.

Intel has been accused of trying to abuse its dominant market position by selling its products below cost price and making cash payments to customers.
