AMD is accusing Intel of serious abuses of its dominant position in the computer microprocessor industry, saying the industry giant coerced manufacturers including Dell, HP, Sony, Acer, Fujitsu and others away from AMD products, thereby limiting the challenger’s ability to compete. The allegations include “huge sums” paid to Intel and Dell, according to industry reports and confirmed by Japanese regulators, purportedly paid to prevent business with AMD. Intel was preparing a response to the court filing today, a company representative told TechNewsWorld.
