Yes, I heard that on the local radio news. Was going to mention it on the Intel thread, but forgot.
In August, Intel will begin phasing out its PC and server computer manufacturing operations in Dupont, where the company completes the assembly of chips, hard drives, and other components. Intel does not sell these products under its own name, but markets them to third-party vendors who brand them independently.
I had completely forgotten that Intel manufactures PCs to be relabeled and sold under an "OEM" name. This is the first that I've heard who customers are though. Dell? So that's one reason their "manufacturing" has gotten so efficient. So, I wonder how much PC inventory Intel carries for Dell? Mighty convenient arrangement when it comes time for financial reports. Nice for Dell to be able to claim they don't have any unsold inventory, ever. I'm not saying it's dishonest, just mighty comfy arrangement. And yes, a little sly. |
