Advanced Micro Devices is filing another formal unfair business practice complaint against Intel -- this time in Germany.

AMD Spokesperson Michael Silverman said during an interview Thursday that AMD has evidence of written agreements between Intel and retailers to keep electronic devices made with AMD processors off store shelves.

AMD has made similar claims of anti-competitive practices in Asia, Europe and the United States. Investigators have raided Intel offices in several countries. Probes are still underway in Korea and the European Union; a lawsuit is pending in a U.S. Federal District Court; and Japanese authorities ruled that Intel violated anti-trust laws by forging agreements with five OEMs to exclude AMD products.
