Even if Dell is close to coming on board, AMD Chief Executive Jerry Sanders won't be happy until the supply agreement is in writing. That's because Intel could swoop in with a better financial deal for Dell, freezing out AMD
yet again. The memory of that sort of maneuvering is still fresh in the mind of AMD officials, who believe that Intel was able to get Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) to choose its chips for the new X-Box video game console
by practically giving them away.

``I wouldn't be surprised if that happens [with Dell],' said Gwennap. ``Intel has been doing that repeatedly to keep AMD from making inroads into its business.'

Do you consider comments like those above which have been repeated in any number of publications to be unfounded, paranoiac speculation?
