The suit alleges that Intel forces such computer makers as Dell ,Sony ,Toshiba and Hitachi into exclusively using Intel in return for cash payments. It further alleges discriminatory pricing and marketing subsidies designed to punish companies who use AMD chips in part of their product line.

The complaint also charges that Intel paid huge sums of money to Dell and Toshiba for remaining Intel-only PC makers. Dell in particular has been very public about its ongoing preference for Intel chips, yet rumors fly constantly about its potential interest in using a chip from AMD. This generally indicates that Dell and Intel are negotiating terms of a new deal, and typically triggers a good deal of speculation, but never a purchase order for AMD chips from Dell.

Not mentioned is pressure on Microsoft to hold back on 64bit Windows until
Intel could catch up, and below cost pricing on flash memory to suck the profit
out of AMD's only profit center.
