Dell Announces New AMD-Based Desktops And Servers, As Quarterly Financial Results Disappoint

Dell plans new AMD-based desktops beginning next month, and two-socket Opteron servers by year end.
August 18, 2006

Dell said Thursday it plans to expand its relationship with Advanced Micro Devices to offer AMD-based desktop PCs starting next month, and two-socket Opteron servers by year end.

Dell previously said it will begin offering a four-socket Opteron server by year end.

AMD disclosed the plans as part of its second-quarter financial announcement.

The financial results, while in line with lowered analyst expectations, were disappointing, as revenue and earnings declined for the second consecutive quarter. The results also come only days after the company announced the recall of 4.1 million batteries used in its laptop computers.

Dell announced net income of $502 million, or 22 cents a share, on revenue of $14.1 billion. That was up 5% from the same period a year ago, but down 1% from its first fiscal quarter.
