Quanta Sues AMD Claiming Defective GPUs

Apparently Quanta Computers has filed a lawsuit against AMD claiming breach of warranty, negligent misrepresentation, civil fraud and interference with a contract. AMD disputes the allegations and says they are "without merit." Quanta Computer Inc. (2382), the world's largest contract maker of notebook computers, sued Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) for breach of contract, alleging the chipmaker sold defective products. AMD and its ATI Technologies Inc. unit sold chips that didn't meet heat tolerances and were unfit for particular purposes, Taoyuan, Taiwan-based Quanta claimed yesterday in a federal court filing in San Jose, California.
