Intel Blasts AMD in Lawsuit Filing

Intel fired back at AMD in a filing with the U.S. District Court in Delaware, refuting AMD's claims that its business practices stifle competition and saying that it has broken no laws.

AMD sued Intel on June 28, accusing its rival of using illegal scare tactics and coercion to keep computer manufacturers from buying AMD processors. It also said that rebates Intel gave computer manufacturers for using its chips exclusively were unlawful since Intel has a monopoly on the processor market.

"AMD's choices and behaviors with respect to each of these core principles over the period covered by the complaint provide a compelling answer to the allegations it has made in this case," Intel argued in the filing.

Intel also called AMD's complaint a "case study in legal dissonance." It said through its own complaint that AMD is attempting to "shield itself from competition" by preventing Intel from lowering prices on its processors. Thus, Intel says, AMD could charge higher prices and reap the benefits.

Bruce Sewell, Intel general counsel, said that AMD's small market share is a result of its own business failures and "are actually a direct result of AMD's own actions or inactions."

AMD had not prepared any response to Intel's claims as of press time.
