Lenovo gets second helping of AMD chips
Lenovo is expanding its use of Advanced Micro Devices chips with the introduction of a second line of AMD-based desktop computers. The new A60 series is the first ThinkCentre-branded desktop personal line with an AMD processor to be made available worldwide, a Lenovo representative said Monday. Computers with the brand are aimed at medium and large businesses, and the ThinkCentre A60 is slated to be announced later today.
The increase in Lenovo's use of the chips is another sign of AMD's advances in its tussle with rival Intel. Lenovo is the world's third-largest PC seller, but most of its strength lies in its home base of China and similar markets. The majority of the computers it ships are Intel-based notebooks sold under the ThinkPad brand, which it acquired from IBM. In China, Lenovo has been selling AMD-based PCs for some time, the company representative said.
