Could HP's AMD laptop sway Dell?
Much has been made of Dell's refusal to use AMD processors. Could a competitor's policy shift, as well as AMD's popularity make Dell change it's tune?
The up-to-now immovable object of Intel chips in Dell computers may have met an irresistible force in a new laptop from each company's closest rival, an analyst says.
This week Hewlett-Packard and Advanced Micro Devices began taking orders for their joint effort, the Compaq nx6125 notebook, and as soon as they did, analysts began talking about a potential shift in the balance of power in the PC world.
"This is a huge win for AMD," said Sam Bhavnani, a senior analyst with Current Analysis. "This will impact mostly small-business purchases. The large enterprises will not shift from Intel to AMD in the near term. However, any small or medium-sized business that is in a replacement cycle now has to consider the Turion 64 HP option."
