ZDNet meldt dat er volgens AMD geen deal bestaat met Dell. Maandag berichtte Forbes nog over geruchten dat Dell met AMD in onderhandeling is over de levering van 100.000 Spitfire processors:
No deal? AMD (NYSE: AMD) would love to have the business, but company officials said Tuesday that despite reports that it was close to a deal to sell chips to Dell Computer Corp. (Nasdaq: DELL) , there has been "no change" in the relationship between the two companies. "We're always knocking on (Dell's) door. It would be nice to add (Dell's) business," an AMD spokesman said. However, he said he is unaware of a pending deal, even despite Dell's recent criticism of its main supplier Intel Corp. for parts shortages.
