Intel fired back in response to a suit recently initiated by Advanced Micro Devices over alleged unfair business practices.

 

In the response, Intel insisted that its business practices are both fair and lawful and claims AMD’s suit is an example of “legal dissonance.”

The response follows AMD’s antitrust suit against Intel in the U.S. District Court in Delaware in June, alleging that Intel has been operating an unlawful monopoly in the x86 microprocessor market.

AMD also filed two suits in Japan, alleging violations of Japan's Antimonopoly Act. South Korean antitrust authorities are also investigating the marketing and rebate practices of Intel.

And the European Commission, in coordination with national competition authorities, recently raided Intel offices across Europe.

Intel has responded with a statement back in June, saying it "strongly disagrees" with AMD's complaints and vowed to fight the suit in court.

On Thursday, Intel said that AMD's claims are factually incorrect and contradictory. In addition, AMD's complaint — by attempting to impede Intel's ability to lower its prices — would hurt consumers, not help them, said Bruce Sewell, general counsel for Intel (Santa Clara, Calif.).

“AMD has made its own business decisions and choices that have determined its position in the marketplace,” he said in a statement. “Yet, with its lawsuit, AMD seeks to instead blame Intel for the many business failures AMD has experienced that are actually a direct result of AMD's own actions or inactions."

In its response filed with the U.S. District Court in Delaware, Intel continued to blast AMD and its suit against the chip giant.
