Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has filed an antitrust lawsuit charging that Intel Corp. , its chief competitor, used everything from threats to kickbacks in illegally building the world's largest computer-chip business.
AMD's 48-page lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Delaware, is the latest shot in a long battle between the two rivals and comes after a recent ruling by Japanese antitrust authorities that Intel had violated anti-monopoly laws and stifled competition with AMD.
The current lawsuit expands those charges, alleging that across three continents Intel coerced 38 companies, including such household names as Dell Inc. , Sony Corp. and Gateway Inc. , to win business over a period of years.
