AMD CEO Dirk Meyer said: "Today's ruling is to establish a truly competitive market, an important step. AMD has always been innovation leaders. We look forward to rule the world from Intel Xiazou out to consumers to call the shots."
AMD Tom McCoy, vice president of legal affairs, said: "After a thorough investigation, the European Union reached a final conclusion - Intel violated the law, consumers are hurt. With this penalty, Intel's monopolistic pricing behavior will come to an end, the industry will benefit from European consumers can enjoy a better choice, value and innovation. "
AMD in particular the European Commission ruled that the three key points:
1, "If the PC's x86 processor manufacturers need all or most of them are purchased from Intel, Intel will provide them with all or part of a secret discounts."
2, "from October 2002 to December 2007, Intel to (Germany), Media Saturn Holding large retailers to pay the compensation, and allowed to expand operations in all countries only sell Intel-based PC."
3, "(Intel) direct interference in the relationship between PC manufacturers and AMD. If the PC makers to postpone or cancel the release of products based on AMD processors, Intel will be paid to them, and nothing to do with whether to buy Intel products."
AMD said, Intel has so far failed to allow any anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies believe that their business practices are legitimate, interests of consumers.
In 2008, the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) decided to Intel fined 26 billion won (equivalent to 25.4 million U.S. dollars at that time), and pointed out that Intel abused its market dominance, including millions of dollars and buying customers forced to use only Intel processors Unpublish AMD products and / or developing any new products using AMD chips. KFTC also found that: "Because of local PC makers have to buy more expensive Intel processors only for the purchase of South Korean consumers to pay higher prices for PC." KTFC also called Intel and AMD do not stop the business from the PC manufacturers to pay remuneration. Intel is on this appeal.
