Size of AMD's Dell hook-up set to shock

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. But how times change.

MacBooks, MacDesktops and MacBookshelves need their 64-bit CPUs in order to make OSX fly. Or the emulation of Windows, of course. 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. µ
