Dell To Finally Go AMD
After years of speculation and waiting, Dell has finally committed to offering AMD Opteron processors in their multi-processor servers. The Opteron offerings will be available by the end of the year, and we can only surmise that desktop and mobile systems won’t be far behind.
Dell has offered AMD processors for some time now, but only as components and not equipped in any systems. It’s possible that their acquisition of Alienware was the final impetus they needed to snuggle up with AMD, but odds are it’s something that has been in the works for some time. Intel can’t be too excited by this turn of events, considering that among large system vendors, Dell was the sole Intel-only provider. AMD on the other hand can’t help but be ecstatic as the extra revenue potential is huge, depending of course on how many systems Dell commits to an AMD lineup.
