DELLがOpteron陣営に参加？

DELLがOpteron陣営に参加するみたいだが、どうなんだろうか？

・ AMD IS FINALLY IN DELL - Semiconductor Devices (PDF)
・ AMD penetrates Dell? Ouch! - The Inquirer

Dell to use AMD's Opteron processors. Based on our channel checks,AMD has finally been able to penetrate Dell with its Opteron processors targeting the server market. While Dell has always been an Intel exclusive OEM, our checks indicate that Dell is currently designing two dual-processor servers based on AMD's Opteron processors. This would be the first time that AMD has been able to get in any of Dell’s systems and could open the door for AMD to expand its processor line-up into future Dell desktop PCs and notebooks, in our view.

お、DELLもOpteronを扱うのが決定したのかな。もしそうなら一大ニュースだ。
以前から噂はあったようですけどねー。

The Inquirerによると、"Dell has denied an analyst's report that it is working on a dual Opteron server."ということらしいけどね。
