Early October, Dell will release mobile computers running AMD’s Sempron and Turion 64×2 processors. The news comes from both AMD and Dell. Their initial plan was to manufacture models equipped with 15.4-inch displays.

“This is not a big deal,” said the Dell executive, who declined to be named. “In order to remain competitive, we have to make sure that we have [a wide] enough variety of products to meet the market demand.”

K. J. Chou, general manager of the chipmaker’s Taiwan operation, said: “This is a sensitive topic, though we won’t deny the fact that we are working with Dell on desktop and notebook PCs.”

Considering that AMD has problems with producing CPUs in volumes, we will probably see only a couple of models, mainly XPS. Just my 2 cents.

In time, as AMD will open their latest Fab, they will be able to produce more and Dell will probably make available more models for the public.
