Dell set to roll out more AMD machines

Though they might have given us a bit of a scare a few weeks ago, it looks like Dell really is "committed to AMD" after all. When the company started pulling certain AMD-based systems from its website, many feared that Dell was planning to return to Intel exclusivity. However, spokespeople for the company denied the rumors, reiterating Dell's commitment to AMD. Looks like it wasn't just talk: tgdaily is reporting that Dell will be one of the first vendors to launch systems with AMD's new tri-core chips. The new systems will be aimed squarely at IT buyers and will fall under the "Optiplex" business desktop brand when they're announced in the coming days. If that's not enough for the AMD fan in you, you'll be happy to hear that Dell will follow up the enterprise systems with new AMD-based consumer machines later in the year.
