      Intel Suit Exposes 'Squishy' Antitrust Laws

      Washington's probe into Intel exposed just how "squishy" antitrust issues can be, Joe Nocera writes in the New York Times . What rival chipmaker AMD has called "predatory behavior" can also be seen as "good old-fashioned competition. What makes antitrust so maddening is that the answer depends as much on who is asking the question—and where—as it does on the evidence," Nocera writes. More »

Intel also learned that it faces a $25.4 million antitrust fine from South Korea, even as it prepares to fight competitor AMD’s private antitrust lawsuit in Delaware’s District Court. More »

      Piles of Evidence Delay Intel Antitrust Trial

      With countless documents and hundreds of witnesses to sort through, chip maker Advanced Micro Devices’ antitrust lawsuit against Intel won’t begin until 2010 at the earliest, the Wall Street Journal reports. AMD has long accused Intel of corrupt business practices; the delay comes after a Korean court ruled that the PC giant had offered millions in rebates to computer makers for not buying from AMD.

      Chip Maker AMD Gets Emirate Cash

      Intel: Honey, I Shrunk the Processor

      Intel is rolling out a line of processors today that breaks brave new ground in micro-sizing —the chips are the first ever to be mass-produced with a  45 nanometer process, nearly a third smaller than today's 65 nanometer technology. The development gives the company an edge over rival Advanced Micro Devices, which just last month released 65nm chips. More »
