wbmw, Now, HP and IBM seem to have done a big turn, since they are now advertising Intel leadership products
HP continues to advertise AMD products. IBM has done a big turn and is finally offering a comprehensive AMD server line-up (in the rack and blade segment), and they are also advertising that instead of INTEL-only for most of ´06.
while Dell is still selling brown bananas (except now it's AMD brown bananas rather than Intel's).
As already stated, HP and IBM continue to sell AMD stuff, they continue to broaden their AMD line-up, and Dell offers INTEL across every product line. They sell as much INTEL systems as customers will buy from them. What has changed here is that Dell now offers customers some AMD choices in some segments on top of the comprehensive INTEL choices.
My question is, if Dell is following IBM and HP, how far behind do you think are they following; or in other words, how long until they catch up and start advertising Intel based systems...?
Dell has always advertised INTEL systems. The vast majority of systems they advertise are INTEL-based. How many times has that
been posted on the INTEL thread?
Are they just planning to advertise AMD through the Barcelona launch, or will they catch the drift before IBM and HP eat their lunch?
I think you don´t understand, Dell sells INTEL everywhere, even
more than HP and IBM. And they advertise accordingly. What has changed is that they now also advertise some of their AMD systems on top of the INTEL systems.
Dell follows HP in broadening their AMD-based business product line-up, that´s what I said in my first reply to you.
