Dell going to use AMD I'm sure I've heard that one before.
Sounds like a negotiating ploy to get Intel to cut them a discount.

You could not be more correct.

That sound like a plausible tactic, but one which I think will backfire.

Given AMD's current laptop offerings, and the upcoming Strix Point and the insanely good Strix Halo, going Intel-only seems not-very-smart. AMD is faster, cheaper, and uses less power. Intel is just riding the mind-share wave now. But that mind-share is shifting towards AMD. I think the Feds should raid Dell's headquarters. Somebody at Dell is smoking illegal substances.

They did have a couple of business products with the original release of Zen, the Latitude 5495 and Optiplex 5055. They didn't list them on their website, and you could only get them if you asked your Dell rep directly about them. They then cancelled the product lines due to "lack of sales", surprising right?
