Sure we have heard about it a million times from hundreds of sources, when AMD's CEO, Hector Ruiz, makes such a bold statement though it's quite a different story...
I'm all in for competition and I hope the best for AMD to gain some more market, it's obvious (though not confirmed) that Intel and Dell have a very juicy agreement going on by which the PC manufacturer has kept its Intel-only product line...
At an event here Thursday marking the one-year anniversary of the launch of the processor, Ruiz, chairman and CEO of Opteron maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc., said it's in Dell's nature to follow industry trends, and as more customers push for Opteron-based systems, Dell will surely jump into the fray. "I've always thought that Dell does not like to be a leader in technology, that they were a strong follower," said Ruiz, speaking to more than 100 business partners, reporters and analysts. "But I didn't realize they were going to be dead last [with Opteron]."
