Intel: Dismiss AMD Antitrust Suit

Intel asked a federal court Wednesday to dismiss a civil antitrust suit brought against it by AMD, saying the company is attempting to use domestic courts to fight Intel's foreign business strategies. Intel argues that AMD must show that the court has jurisdiction over such matters. The motion was filed in U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Delaware.

"AMD must meet the burden of establishing that this court has subject matter jurisdiction over AMD's foreign commerce claims," Intel wrote in its brief. AMD responded to Intel's claims, calling it an attempt by the larger chipmaker "to escape responsibility" and continue its unfair practices in the processor industry. Both parties have asked the court to hold a trial in 2008.
