Intel have filed their official response to AMD's lawsuit alleging anti-competitive behaviour. The Intel response explains that AMD's claims are factually incorrect and contradictory. In addition, AMD's complaint -- by attempting to impede Intel's ability to lower its prices -- would hurt consumers, not help them. More info here. There's a forum thread discussing this ongoing case here. Lots of lawyers are going to be buying lots of boats off the back of this one.
