Dell bumping up AMD usage to 50%

Market sources say that about 20 million Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) processors will be used in Dell’s servers, desktop PCs and notebooks between the fourth quarter of 2006 and the fourth quarter of 2007. Dell will use four million AMD CPUs in its notebook line while sixteen million AMD CPUs will appear in Dell’s desktop and server products, according to the sources.

Well this answers the question as to whether Intel’s Conroe will or will not end AMD’s reign. I’ve always been a fan of choice, so I am glad to see Dell finally listening to the customers. No doubt the lawsuit had everything to do with this, but who cares. People are going to have -choice-!
