Dell announced along with its lackluster first quarter financial results this week plans to sell enterprise servers powered by Advanced Micro Devices processors. The new high-end, multi-processor servers from the world’s largest PC manufacturer will feature AMD Opteron chips and will be available before the end of the year, Dell said. Despite past calls from industry watchers for such a move, Dell has resisted and remained loyal to Intel for all of its computing systems until now.
