Chip maker says it disagrees with antitrust allegations and that it won't change its business practices.
Intel, the world's largest chip maker, says it disagrees with antitrust allegations made by rival Advanced Micro Devices and says it will continue to operate as it has in the past.
"We unequivocally disagree with AMD's claims," says Paul Otellini, Intel's president and CEO, in a prepared statement.
Earlier this week, AMD filed a wide-ranging antitrust suit against Intel in the U.S., alleging it has maintained a monopoly in the PC processor market by illegally coercing customers around the world into using its chips. The company hopes to bring its case before a jury by the end of next year.
"Intel has always respected the laws of the countries in which we operate. We compete aggressively and fairly. ...This will not change," Otellini says in the statement.
The company says it has faced similar antitrust issues in the past and predicted it will be able to resolve the AMD suit "favorably."
