You...

Has everyone forgotten that Dell got these parts by aquiring another company and acording to AMD has never entered into a purchase process with AMD?


Me...

So you think this is a one time event and DELL's inventory of AMD parts won't be refreshed?

If DELL bought a distributor then presumably that distributor is going to stay in business which means that it will have access to AMD parts. How is this different from DELL buying the parts directly from AMD?

One other thing; perhaps DELL bought the distributor for the sole purpose of gaining access to AMD parts? I can't imagine why DELL would need a distributor to get INTC parts, but there may be more to it. Perhaps access to other channels, but I kind of doubt it as DELL is large enough to avoid channels completely.
