Dell Stays With Intel’s Chips Over AMD’s
From Bloomberg News
Dell Inc. decided to keep using Intel Corp. microprocessors after considering products from Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Chief Executive Kevin Rollins said.
Dell, based in Round Rock, Texas, considered switching to AMD “for a while,” Rollins said at a technology conference in Phoenix. Intel, whose chips power more than 80% of the world’s PCs, “slipped technologically” last year as AMD “made an advance,” he said.
Intel shares fell 45 cents to $23.31 on Nasdaq. AMD shares lost 40 cents to $16.60 on the NYSE.
