Intel (INTC) has admitted to some major gaffes in handling documents in an antitrust suit filed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which is moving toward a trial next March. Now the chip giant says the shoe is on AMD’s foot.

Intel this week filed a motion seeking sanctions against AMD, alleging that its smaller rival failed to adequately retain and produce documents in the case and tried to hide its lapses. AMD rejects the allegations, characterizing them as an attempt to create a diversion from Intel’s own document-handling miscues.

The two companies believe the case–which AMD filed in June 2005, alleging that Intel abused its dominant market position–will generate more documents than any piece of civil litigation in U.S. history.
