stockman_scott...Why all of your AMD posts on the Dell board?I think we understand your bias/position for AMD and against Intel. Dell will do what's in the best interest of the company and shareholders. Kevin Rollins has no current plans for AMD. I think you can book it. Best, Bill

U.S.-based AMD's Chmn: Not Seeking Orders From Dell Inc... DOW JONES NEWSWIRES March 10, 2005 12:14 a.m. TAIPEI -- U.S.-based Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) has no plans to supply chips to Dell Inc. (DELL) in the foreseeable future, despite Dell's No.1 position in the global personal computer business. "Our plans to successfully grow market share and improve our finances are actually based on not doing business with Dell. We're not going to give away product just to win Dell," said Hector de J. Ruiz, chairman, president and chief executive of AMD, at a small media gathering in Taipei on Thursday. The comments come shortly after Dell's chief executive, Kevin Rollins, said the U.S. personal computer giant wouldn't likely add AMD as a supplier of microprocessors, keeping its long Intel Corp. (INTC)-only policy in place. AMD and Intel compete in the market for computer microprocessors, which act as the brains of a personal computer. Ruiz also said his company's plans to introduce a new flash memory chip designed to store data in a range of mobile products like cellular phones, digital cameras and music players, will be in production next year. He said customers will be able to sample the product, called ORNAND, in the second half of this year. The chips will combine the speed of NOR flash memory, which takes its name from the algebraic expression "not or" and is used mainly in mobile phones, with the greater storage capacity of NAND, or "not and", flash memory chips. NAND, a chip segment dominated by South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. (005930.SE is favored in gadgets that require greater memory storage space, like the iPod Shuffle music player. AMD's flash memory unit, Spansion, is a joint venture with Japan's Fujitsu Ltd. (6702.TO), and is developing the ORNAND chips.
