AMD has filed an antitrust suit against Intel, in a US federal district court, accusing the latter of forcing major customers into exclusive deals. “The 48-page complaint explains how Intel has unlawfully maintained its monopoly in the x86 microprocessor market by engaging in worldwide coercion of customers from dealing with AMD”, the plaintiff says. AMD cites Dell, Sony, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Gateway, NEC, HP, IBM and Supermicro, as well as distributors and retailers, as being forced to keep away from its products.
