Dell Pares Back Sales Of AMD-Based PCs
Dell Inc. has stopped selling most consumer systems that use Advanced Micro Devices Inc. chips through Dell's popular Web site.
The big computer company said it still plans to keep selling the AMD-based machines in retail stores and over the phone and is still using its Web site to sell AMD-powered machines for business users. But Dell's shift is nevertheless seen as negative for AMD, which took years to convince Dell to modify its longtime strategy of using only chips from Intel Corp.
