AMD Dissed by Dell – No More AMD Based PCs For Sale Online
By
Nearly two years after scoring one of its greatest business coups, Advanced Micro Devices is sliding backwards. PC marker Dell confirmed reports Friday that the vast majority of its AMD-powered consumer PCs are no longer available for purchase online.
The move doesn’t seem to augur well for AMD, and comes at a time when AMD has struggled to field a competitive lineup with chip rival Intel. Last year, AMD was forced to delay the general availability of its long-awaited quad-core microprocessor due to a bug in the silicon. Dell spokesperson David Frink suggested that Dell might eventually resume offering AMD-based consumer machines online, saying that the company’s product mix and distribution plans change over time.
