AMD and Dell sign deal for millions of chips

Wow. all I can say is wow.

Wow!!!


it doesn't look like Intel will be getting back much market share now.


One more time.

WOW!

I Don't Believe It. I need Bigger Proof then Theinquirer to make me believe this Rumor Is even true :x

Dell Sells the Shittyest Products this side of the Communist Automobile Industry. How could AMD even think about latching their Products on those Shytty plastic peices of shytt. damn the cases and motherboards sukk corks. And AMD-Dell(desktop) deal sucks even more. Even if this helps them get more sales But it'll lower the Reputation of AMD for Quality products and quality(overall) because they sell the best CPUs on the biggest Most malfunctioning peices of shytt ever!! FuCC Dell and thier peices of crap

Might try peaking at LMM's or Shakira's site for reference... everyone else may be expressing tainted views...

UUmm, 4 wows. You are a cheap wower.

Dell isn't that bad. I built a few Dell systems, and with amd processors, I might even buy one someday. You can't beat the price. A sempron system with monitor for $299. I could live with that.

Not everyone believes the Inq.. I didn't believe them about the Google thing. But they normally(widest possible definition of normally) hold a small degree of truth, or at least indicative of what 'word on the street' is - even if that street is the one outside the Inq's office. While I'm hesitant to believe that the deal will mark the start of Intel's demise(sounds like Dell is preparing to make more PCs, not exclude Intel - just a hunch), maybe the size of this deal will surprised everyone one way or the other. And product diversity is *always* a plus.


PS Does Apple manufacture as much as Lenovo?? Surprising...

Holy crap I just read my post I have no idea what I just said.

Because AMD wants profits more than the aleternative, I'm not supprised really, also Dell has pretty fair prices, shure they sell shit sometimes, but the make a lot doing it. This is just good bussness.

Also AMD is expanding its refining copacity

and laugh at this all you want but the dell rep at work said that we would see some new powerful machines coming soon, we also have a meeting with dell to "get cought up on the latest tech"

Dell Fans Will not like this deal. Because Dell users were Prominently Happy with their Pentium 4 HT "prescott" Peices Of Shytt. Because they were only given those peices of crapp at the 400-800 Range. Now that AMD(maybe) has entred the Battlefield this will enrage "Prescott" fans because most of them don't want their Awsome peices of Shytt to be competeing against 3500+ and X2 3800+. Dell users might become afraid and stop buying Dell if they are given a choise besides the "Prescott" these awsome dream systems which are avalible from dell now. Dell users beware you now have mighty Tough destion of either a 550 "prescott" or a 3700+ Ohhhhh Tough Desitions Dell users oHhhhhooohh

Ive used systems with processor speeds up to 3800+ and while they may score a few more fps in games, thats also the only thing they do.
Working with Athlons (not X2) is just a nightmare, nowhere near anything Northwood/Prescott (HT-enabled), oh yes.
You know... Dell has their reasons to use P4s rather than Athlons. The same reason they are using Opteron 800 for their MP systems now.

YCon, I am not very sure where you get your info from. The single core AMD cpu's trade blows back and forth with equivalently priced Pentium 4's. It's not only in games. If they are so bad, could you please explain the drastic differences you noticed.

more conroe for us

No conroe unfortunately will still sell out at every vendor. More likely will mean more Pentium 4 for whoever will take it.

Dell is not bad. i dislike them because they use crappy Intel IGPs on budget boxes. FX5200 is better than that crap. being in IT i usually end up with a Dell.

Do you think intel would let Dell use 50% ATi/nVidia IGPs? intel needs to just get out of the graphics business they really suck at it.

I wholeheartedly agree that past intel integrated graphics controllers that I have used really sucked. I wouldn't be surprised if this unit gets the axe during Intels current analysis/reduction of under perfofming units.

Please explain to me why the average desk jockey in a government office needs a FX5200 or ANY non-IGP video card.


To play games. Obviously you haven't worked in a government office.

I work in IT and have woked in clerical offices. I have sen regular employees with 15 windows open ranging from outlook to IE to Word to Excel to PowerPoint.

Say you're doing your weekly report that involves data from several sources. Will you open and close or leave all of them open? Do you close your email because the IGP bogs down after 7 or 8 windows?

You obviously haven't used a dell with Intel IGP. THEY SUCK. BAD. And woul drag the perf of Core 2 to the basement.

Obviously you haven't FUDie.


My last assignment had a 2.8Ghz with a 845. I'm using an FX5200 right now and it's much snappier. 2 VS 2005, SQL server and Profiler, it would bog down AND my 845 wouldn't go higher than 1024.


tell me that's not crap.

i doubt it. They can get more credit than any company in the world. This may make them rethink their "isolationist" stance and let soem other companies make some money.

As I said in another post Intel's crappy graphics may have had alot ot do with the desktop stuff. I can't imagine putting a Core 2 2.13 into a box with an Intel IGP. some don't even run at 1024 well - OK most.

People with 10-15 windows open hate dell because of it.

"Isolationist stance"? Where do you come up with this stuff? Are you referring to the fact that AMD has to have so many other companies(IBM, Chartered, Transmetta, et al) help it get a processor to market and Intel doesn't?

Maybe we should change the name of AMD and call it AMDIBMCHARTEREDTRANSMETTA becuase that's what's really behind that AMD chip you own.


Ask dell how many nVidia chips they can put into their boxes. Ask them how many other NICs go in them. ask them how many non-Intel mobos go into them.


Not another "don't know at all."

Who said anything about NICs, mobos or anything else. I'm talking about processors here. What, you can't live with the fact that AMDIBMCHARTEREDTRANSMETTA can't make a go on it's own? Looks like I struck a nerve.

And, yes, I'm another "don't know at all"...I would prefer you continue believing that anyways. Cheers!

Dude... i'm ON a Dell w/ a IGP. It works fine!

I have 10 windows open.

??????

Video card has very little to do with the desktop. We're talking 2D acceleration here bub.

So if there are companies making MUCH BETTER video and you disallow your biggest customer from using more that's not isolationist?

I think your mom's calling you.


besides, Opteron was ALL AMD, with maybe a pinch of NexGen - which they bought. No actually the XP was NexGen. Comapnies collaborate all the time.

Where did PCIe come from?
How about HDMI?
How about AGP?


Don't play here you'll get hurt.

You would because you're a fanboy. 945G, I wish! It was 865G.

Actually, NexGen engineers collaborated heavily w/ AMD on the original Slot A Athlon- not the XP.

In fact, most believe that NexGen engineers were the ones responsible (mainly) for the Athlon.

Thanks for reminding me of NexGen...I'll add it to the list: AMDIBMCHARTEREDTRANSMETTANEXGEN

No, actually, that's your mom calling me.

Please stop, your scaring me...not.

OK, enough silliness. My point of contenion with your original statement, which I've seen in numerous posts, is that it's so biased and unbalanced, you make yourself a target. You may work in IT, but it appears that you know very little about running an aggressive business.

Now that I've got your attention, and you think AMD is so sqeeky clean, as yourself if you think AMD does or doesn't attempt the same tactics as Intel when given the opportunity. Your answer should be revealing to all of us.

Hey action, how do I properly parse that?

Is it FU / Die?

Or FUD / ie?
