"Dell wants to sell servers with more than two processors"

Without Dell, INTC has lost major support for their ASP structure which is, some say 50% higher than AMD's!

No wonder INTC is advertising that their gross margin is about to dip below 50% in Q3. Tough times ahead for INTC now that their sacred calf, Dell, has chosen an alternative view of the future!
