You can bet your life that Dell would require highly segregated development resources to support both AMD and INTEL. I would imagine that any AMD development would be done in asia. Dell is keen on getting cheaper R&D anyway. I imagine that Intel is putting immense pressure on them not to take this step, but ultimately it will reduce their cost significantly. TP

Re: For Dell's internally developed systems (like Workstations for example) Dell is a validation partner and works closely with Intel to debug their silicon starting from Intel's internal development, timing closure, IO ring, package layout to the first engineering samples thru customer ship. HP and IBM do that level of work - Dell doesn't. Dell sources parts at the component level, they don't do chipset development and validation. That's part of the reason they've backed off from the very high end of the business where you need that kind of in house capability.
