Amd Vs Intel: The Chips Are Down

pritty much but aleast u guys get to know wats going on instead of clicking links allday -
The competition between the chip rivals has escalated into a full-blown legal spat which only one company will walk away from with its reputation intact This week the gloves came off in the struggle between up-and-coming chipmaker AMD and market leader Intel. AMD filed a lawsuit against Intel in the US courts accusing the chipmaker of anticompetitive practices. What does AMD say Intel's done? AMD says that Intel has misused its 90 percent market share to lock it out of the business, primarily by persuading major OEMs such as HP, Dell and IBM to restrict the number of AMD-based products in their line-up, or even exclude them entirely. Why would these companies listen to Intel? Intel makes no secret of various sweeteners it offers to companies, such as funding product development, paying for marketing and straightforward discounts in exchange for guaranteed sales. AMD says that Intel also uses 'first dollar' discounts, threatens to withhold supplies if AMD based products are sold or marketed, and put pressure on distributors and retailers to with First dollar? This is where Intel pays an OEM cash equivalent to around ten percent of the chip price for every chip bought, but only when the company hits a certain level of purchases. That level, says AMD, is set to limit AMD's sales to a small percentage of the total. If the OEM buys more AMD parts and doesn't hit the Intel discount trigger, they lose a large chunk of cash

Intel Hits Back Over Amd Lawsuit
iancox14 replied to iancox14's topic in Processors, Motherboards and Memory
lol he dont have a clue does he, swifty nice come back -
if u guys havent heard this already Intel chief executive Paul Otellini on Wednesday defended his company against new legal attacks from AMD. AMD filed a lawsuit against Intel on Monday in US District Court in Delaware. The rival chipmaker claims that Intel is using monopolistic business practices, such as threatening retaliation against customers who do business with AMD. AMD is asking the court to impose punitive damages. The man who recently replaced Craig Barrett as Intel's CEO said his company has been involved in other antitrust suits, has faced similar issues before and expects to come out on top of this one as well. "Intel has always respected the laws of the countries in which we operate," Otellini said in a statement. "We compete aggressively and fairly to deliver the best value to consumers. This will not change." Intel was able to stare down an antitrust lawsuit Intergraph filed against the chipmaking giant back in 2000. The case was eventually settled. After a raid on its offices in Japan, Intel agreed to work with Japan's Fair Trade Commission (JFTC), which accused Intel of offering rebates to five Japanese PC makers
