AMD Claims Intel Inadvertently Destroyed Evidence in Antitrust Case

Posted by Hemos on from the ah-the-smell-of-open-court-in-the-morning dept.

Marcus Yam writes "In an unpublished statement to the U.S. District Court of Delaware, AMD alleges Intel allowed the destruction of evidence in pending antitrust litigation. According to the opening letter of the AMD statement, 'Through what appears to be a combination of gross communication failures, an ill-conceived plan of document retention and lackluster oversight by outside counsel, Intel has apparently allowed evidence to be destroyed.'"

    And.. that makes it easier? 471 people out of 100,000. It's like trying to herd cats, it's not going to work perfectly.

    It's really a shame Intel didn't do this correctly, though. Ideally Intel should just follow the letter of the law and do exactly what is required of them, and not be sleazebags like AMD trying this in the press and trying to innovate by litigating.

    As repayment for their abuse of the legal system, AMD deserves to fade into obscurity. AMD likes to make big announcements and sleazy "challenges" in the press, like when they challenged the Xeon back in the day to some kind of kindergarten fight "by the monkeybars". They're oddly silent now on the technical front now, except for making ridiculous claims about Barcelona. AMD has the class of a telemarketing firm run by a guy who tans too much and slicks back his hair with 3 ounces of motor oil every morning.
