AMD sues Intel : The show is on

AMD has filed with federal district court for the district of Delaware, an antitrust complaint against Intel, alleging Intel of forcing major customers to accept exclusive deals, withholding rebates and marketing subsidies as a means of punishing customers who buy more than prescribed quantities of processors from AMD, threatening retaliation against customers doing business with AMD and other charges.

Hector Ruiz, AMD Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer has put up an open letter accusing Intel of monopolist.

Is this an desperate act from AMD ? I do not think so. They had been doing good till date but Intel has been able to catch up after their x64 failure. So, if you forgot about or missed the Microsoft Vs DOJ antitrust trial, get ready for another show.
 

AMD is holding a press conference Tuesday morning.
