Dell May Try AMD Chips For Some Servers

Posted by timothy on from the weeeeeellll-let-me-think-it-over dept.

LarsWestergren writes "According to InfoWorld, Dell may be close to adopting AMD processors. Don't get your hopes up too early though. It is mainly for servers (and possibly "gaming"?) since AMD doesn't have the manufacturing capacity to supply Dell with enough processors for the desktop. Furthermore, Dell have said similar things before, possibly to put pressure on Intel and get better deals from them. Still, this is definitely a PR win for AMD." Intel, though, has a lot more ad dollars to contribute.

    Ya because we all know those dell gaming systems would run games just kick ass if they had Linux or FreeBSD. For a lot of Dell's customers, there is no alternative to Windows.
