AMD v. Intel

AMD v. Intel

"AMD v. Intel" is an antitrust lawsuit filed by Advanced Micro Devices against Intel Corporation.

History

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) launched an antitrust lawsuit against its rival Intel Corp., the world's leader of microprocessors. AMD has claimed that Intel has made a monopoly in the PC processors industry where Intel has offered Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) large discounts on their processors in hopes that it would deter them from buying AMD microprocessors.Michael Singer; Dawn Kawamoto ."

The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court in Delaware on Monday, June 17 2005. This has been an ongoing battle up until now and a court date, that was originally aimed for April 2009, has been pushed back almost a whole year to February 2010. This is because the Korea Fair Trade Commission has issued a fine of US$25.4 million against Intel. Some of the manufacturers involved in the case are Dell, HP. Gateway, Acer, Fujitsu, Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi.Ann Steffora Mutschler. " [http://www.edn.com/article/CA6568070.html Intel, AMD antitrust trial pushed back] ", "Electronic News", June 6 2008.

This is not the first time AMD has accused Intel Corp. of abusing their power as the leading manufacturer for X86 processors. In 1991, AMD filed an antitrust lawsuit against Intel claiming that they were trying to secure and maintain a monopoly, and one year later, a court ruled against Intel, awarding AMD US$10 million dollars “plus a royalty-free license to any Intel patents used in AMD's own 386-style processor”.Michael Singer.
