In a response to this week"s hottest topic, Intel"s CEO shot back at Advanced Micro Device"s accusations, stating that the company would not change any of its current business practices and would expect any court ruling to end in its favor, should it ever get there.
"Intel has always respected the laws of the countries in which we operate. We compete aggressively and fairly to deliver the best value to consumers. This will not change."
"Over the years, Intel has been involved in other antitrust suits and faced similar issues," Otellini said. "Every one of those matters has been resolved to our satisfaction. We unequivocally disagree with AMD"s claims and firmly believe this latest suit will be resolved favorably, like the others."
Otellini"s comments are nearly identical to those released b a company spokesman on the day the news broke, but nevertheless exhibit a steadfast belief of no wrongdoing. AMD argues that Intel has unlawfully monopolized the x86 processor market and illegally coerced system manufacturers into using its families of processors.
