        "Size of AMD's Dell hook-up set to shock ... AMD will be a big winner
        come autumn"
        Inquirer reports it has seen documents in Taipei indicating Dell has
        placed design orders with several Taiwanese companies for desktop and
        notebook systems with AMD CPUs.
        \_ err... you know that AMD is not taking any new order from OEMs
           because they couldn't meet the demand
           \_ err... you do know AMD is building fabs, and the one in new

Theo Valich: Thursday 22 June 2006, 01:51 THE HALLS OF COMPUTEX have fallen silent, but information gathered around Taipei is that AMD will be a big winner come autumn. We have seen some documents that shed new light onto the whole AMD-Dell deal. And it seems Dell has placed design orders with several companies for kits bristling with AMD chips. There are some very, very interesting desktop and mobile business designs, as Dell prepares to kick back at the Intel-Apple axis. Of course, Dell has prepared AMD designs in the past, if only to wind up Intel. MacBooks, MacDesktops and MacBookshelves need their 64-bit CPUs in order to make OSX fly. Probably by not running Boot camp, rather the offering from Parallels Inc. Back in 2002, Nvidia refused to supply Dell with nigh-on 100 per cent of its production. In 2006, AMD may have to ramp up like there's no tomorrow.
