The latest Dell rumor is self perpetuating from the Tom's hardware de site. The translation-ish of your link sounds a highly skeptical note: They indicate that Dell will make systems on you chipsete to nForche. By itself, this fact implies the use of processors AMD. If it is honest, then 4 I relate to this information with a sufficient fraction/portion of skepticism. Hearing about AMD of system from Dell walk already long ago, and cart and now there - company produces only computers on the processors Intel. I do not think that nForche the situation will change with the output/yield. Although certainly everyone can be let us live - let us see.

the rumor states that is going to use nForce. The logical conclusion is that amd would be used as well My logic on this rumor would work like this If Dell is going to use nForce then they will use AMD. Dell will not use AMD. Therefore Dell will not use nForce. Tim

Albert, Re: "also AMD and NVIDIA joint the 3GIO development consortium. That might or might not mean that HT would be a part of 3GIO. It definitely means that amd would have access to that same info as intel" It most certainly does not. Intel gives the consortium access to the specs, and works together to modify them to fit everyone's needs. Hypertransport and 3GIO use completely different protocols, so it's extremely unlikely that they will end up with a spec that supports both standards. As for proprietary progress, Intel has no obligation to share this with the consortium, so AMD and nVidia will not have access to it. wanna_bmw
