Having just sued the European Commission's antitrust regulators for not admitting what it considers exculpatory evidence in its case, Intel has now sued to overturn the Korea Fair Trade Commission's June antitrust decision against it.

Intel complains that the KFTC misinterpreted the market and ignored the economic analysis.

Intel says it would have moved sooner but it only got the KFTC's final written decision a month ago.

Intel was fined ~$25 million for alleged undercutting or closing out AMD by paying Korean OEMs rebates.

The complaints in Korea and Europe are substantially the same.

Intel maintains its pricing practices are a boon to consumers.
