Dell expanding its AMD partnership

Dell is reportedly set to announce that it is expanding its use of AMD chips to include AMD-based servers, desktops, and laptops.

The announcement will come Thursday when Dell reports its quarterly financial results, according to sources quoted in a cNet report.

While Dell isn't commenting, one source expects Dell to announce plans to sell dual-processor Opteron servers, while another says the partnership will include desktop and notebooks as well.

Dell broke its longtime exclusive relationship with Intel in May, when it announced plans to use AMD Opteron processors in its high-end, multiprocessor servers.
