Dell Set to Introduce AMD's Triple-core Phenom CPU

Posted by Zonk on Saturday February 16, 2008 @05:24PM from the lots-of-balls-in-the-air dept.

An anonymous reader writes "AMD is set to launch what is considered its most important product against Intel's Core 2 Duo processors next week. TG Daily reports that the triple-core Phenoms — quad-core CPUs with one disabled core — will be launching on February 19. Oddly enough, the first company expected to announce systems with triple-core Phenoms will be Dell. Yes, that is the same company that was rumored to be dropping AMD just a few weeks ago. Now we are waiting for the hardware review sites to tell us whether three cores are actually better than two in real world applications and not just in marketing."

Since I started studying microsystems eng., I disconnected from a lot that's been going on in the IT world. So I admit, I had no idea Dell was making AMD-based PCs. When did this start?
