AMD Ads Kick Off Intel Antitrust Fight
Ed Oswald writes in BetaNews:
Just one day after filing suit against Intel for anti-competitive practices, AMD went on a full-court advertising press to urge consumers to take action as well. The full-page ad ran Wednesday in several papers including the New York Times and the Capitol Hill Roll Call.
In the ad, AMD explained its reasons for filing the suit and how Intel's alleged monopolistic practices harm consumers. AMD also claims in the ad that Intel is using its market power to force computer makers to use only Intel processorsand threatening retaliation to prevent companies from using AMD.
"For most competitive situations, this is just business. But from a monopolist, this is illegal," the ad argues.
The company asks consumers in the ad to read its complaint to find out more about Intel's practices. "Intel's illegal actions hurt consumers - everyday."
