EU agrees to AMD request to investigate Intel again

EU antitrust regulators said on Tuesday they were looking again into Intel Corp's business practices after rival US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc declined to withdraw its complaint.

The European Commission reached a preliminary conclusion a couple of years ago that there was insufficient evidence to bring charges, but AMD disagreed and renewed its complaint, said EU spokeswoman Amelia Torres.

Therefore, the commission began "a new fact-finding phase" by sending letters to industry players requesting information, she said.
