Seems it might finally happen. but hey who knows, weve seen a ton of rumors before. But this seems more reliable then previous rumors.

TAIPEI (AFX) - Dell Inc has informed its Taiwan contract makers of plans to develop devices based on Advanced Micro Devices Inc's microprocessors, and these suppliers are awaiting orders for global shipment, the Economic Daily News reported, citing industry sources.

That'd be sweet. Intel inside is part of the reason why I don't recommend Dell anymore, when people ask (the other part is crummy parts they use & bad tech support).

Definitely good news for AMD if it is true.

 

[Mickey Eye]

And for AMD, general buyers see AMD in Dell they'll be far more willing to buy AMD from other sellers.

Long live AMD.

The sad thing is whatever news is coming in the next six months is probably already built into the price of the stock because of insider trading by all of the big investment funds.. AMD's stock has really moved lately on relatively no news.. and now, with a huge rumor, AMD's stock does nothing..

Nothing to see here folks, this is just to scare intel into lowering prices.

It says "devices", not "computers". That could mean the want to use AMD chips in their Axim or DJ devices. I seriously doubt they are going to put Intel into their systems (desktops, laptops, servers, etc) without sacrificing their amazing pricing levels.

They are only doing this to prevent from being sued like Intel for monopolizing the market. They will be offering CPU's... but most likely not in thier desktops.
Its a defensive move to prevent AMD from sueing them.... they can say "We sell AMD too!" in court and it would make AMD's lawsuit much harder prove should they ever take one up against DELL.

I could see AMD Opterons, especially X2 Opterons in Dell Servers. Intel's pieces JUST can't keep up with Opterons.

That would be very, very, berry fruity sweet if it wasn't a REPOST!.

That makes no sense. AMD could not sue Dell for offering only intel products. Dell is not a monopoly and theres nothing Dell has done illegal or wrong by not offering AMD cpu's.

Thats like saying Pepsi is going to sue McDonalds because they only sell Coke..lol.

[dug777]

i'm looking forward to some big hitting intel chips on the horizon...they already have a mature 65nm process, AMD doesn't even have a 65nm process...and the 920 D looks like it could be the next big overclocker too...

 

[redgtxdi]

Man, oh man how I wish this would finally come true.


The $99 PC is right around the corner, yet nobody will jump!!!


Dell's been d!ickin' with this sh!t for years now!!!


When the fvck is somebody gonna move on this thing???????


(P.S. I wish, oh I wish Intel could get slapped in the face for their overpriced B.S. chips!!! AMD would pwn for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
