Don't get your hopes up too early though. It is mainly for servers (and possibly "gaming") since AMD doesn't have the manufacturing capacity to supply Dell with enough processors for the desktop. Furthermore, Dell have said similar things before, possibly to put pressure on Intel and get better deals from them. Still, this is definitely a PR win for AMD." Intel, though, has a lot more ad...http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/13/0041257 AMD Reflects on Progress, Dull Possiblities- (Found July 5, 2008 ) AMDZone Infoworld has an article on AMD's comments at their analyst briefing today. "Two years ago, AMD Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Hector Ruiz told analysts at the annual meeting about AMD's plans to slash its workforce amid a sharp downturn in the PC market. But on Friday, flush with the success of the company's 64-bit x86 processors, Ruiz spoke of an AMD that "is in the midst of a major transformation."http://www.amdzone.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1661 Advice for Jonathan: Go ask Microsoft- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Jim Grisanzio Everyone has an opinion, right This bit of advice is directed to Jonathan from an "E. Schwartz" at InfoWorld under the headline, "Sun in need of good business advice." Here are a few paragraphs from the piece: "With all due respect to someone with the same last name as me, Jonathan Schwartz, president and COO of Sun, Schwartz's November 10th blog, left me almost speechless.

Last week, at Forrester Research's Executive Strategy Forum, Rollins said "We believe there will come a time when we use AMD products, too." Then yesterday, in an interview with InfoWorld editors, Rollins said "My guess is we're going to want to add that AMD product line in the future." Rollins' comments come in stark contrast to statements...http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/index.php?p=744 Thursdays Tech Update- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Tech Blog 2.0 The beta version of Microsofts new search engine went live today.

InfoWorld is reporting that Dell amd AMD are talking about a deal again. If youve been following these two companies over the last few years, it seems that this happens every time Dell and Intel have a contract about to expire. It would be wonderful news if it happened, but Ill just assume it is yet another attempt by Dell to squeeze a better deal out of Intel. Some things never seem to change.http://www.shamelessgeeks.com/index.php?p=45 Googles amazing expanding index- (Found July 5, 2008 ) A weblog by Michael Moncur The search engine size war in review: August 21, 2003: Overture announces that their FAST search engine indexes 3.2 billion documents.
