Intel Corp. is claiming in court documents that European Union regulators made serious mistakes in levying a record euro1.06 billion ($1.45 billion) fine for monopoly abuse last May.

In a legal plea published in the European Union's Official Journal, the U.S. computer chip maker is asking an EU court to overturn the antitrust decision or reduce the "manifestly disproportionate" fine.

It claims that the European Commission did not supply enough proof to back up allegations that Intel used strong-arm sales tactics in the computer chip market to squeeze out Silicon Valley rival, Advanced Micro Devices Inc., or AMD, the No. 2 supplier of microprocessors to PC makers.

The EU ordered Intel to stop illegal sales tactics such as rebates to computer manufacturers Acer Inc., Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., Lenovo Group Ltd. and NEC Corp. for buying all or most of their chips from Intel and paying them to stop or delay AMD-based computers.

Apple has said its 3-year iPhone deal sealed with China Unicom (NYSE: CHU, SHA: 600050, HKG: 0762) last week would not prevent it from buddying up with other mainland telecommunications operators. China Mobile on Monday launched its self-developed OPhone system based on Linux and compatible with Google's Android to rival Unicom. The OPhone is expected to be priced at ¥1,000.
