This is the first time you have acknowledged that additional factors, invisible to you, play a major role in determining which vendor wins a design. Keep in mind, Dell operates under Dell's business model, not the model followed by other companies. As such, just because another vendor used AMD doesn't mean it fit Dell's business model. It was YOUR position that AMD was profiting during a period of relative product superiority. which YOU conceded, as a rebuttal to the exact same Intel bribe argument, no less! ), the fact that DELL maintained 100% Intel-loyalty (when they could have easily produced an AMD line as were the competitors who were taking their customers) had nuuuuuhh-thing to do with the BILLIONS of dollars Intel was stringing DELL along with, that were BTW completely misleading DELL investors of DELL's market situation/predicament in the process.
