ATI the latest major player to be dragged into the fray
In the seemingly never-ending AMD versus Intel
anti-trust suit -- that now famous Delaware Civil Action 05-441-JJF --
Intel has fired a shot at ATI. The Delaware
court has approved a subpoena from Intel to obtain ATI documents with regard to
the pending AMD-ATI merger.
The subpoena covers, among other things, "All documents that relate to
ATI's decision to be acquired by AMD, including but not limited to the
transaction's strategic rationale, growth opportunities, and financial projections
of the transaction's actual or potential effect on any aspect of either
company's or the combined company's business performance."
Several months ago AMD filed a subpoena against Microsoft forcing the company
to disclose any
documents regarding "Microsoft's
decision to develop software for AMD's 64-bit CPUs, and the timing and schedule
for development of that software." This was then followed by additional subpoena
requests to Adobe, BEA Systems,
Dell, HP, Sun Microsystems and Wal-Mart.
Intel then returned fire by also filing subpoenas against the same companies
AMD had subpoenaed, but with different scope.
