This just in from the WSJ:
“Dell Inc. has decided to stop selling most consumer systems powered by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. chips through Dell’s popular Web site.
The big computer company says it still plans to keep selling the AMD-based machines in retail stores and over the phone. But Dell’s decision is nevertheless seen as a negative for AMD, which took years to convince Dell to modify its longtime strategy of using only chips from Intel Corp.”

This was pretty shocking news because the Dell / AMD relationship was so young. It will be interesting to see if we drop the AMD line of PowerEdge servers too. Most of my customers like the lower cost alternative to Intel. Stay tuned.
