=== Dell and AMD ===
When Dell acquired Alienware early in 2006, some Alienware systems had [[AMD]] chips. On August 17, 2006, a Dell press release<ref>[http://www.Dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/corp/pressoffice/en/2006/2006_08_17_rr_000?c=us&l=en&s=corp Press-release]. {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105074818/http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/corp/pressoffice/en/2006/2006_08_17_rr_000?c=us&l=en&s=corp|date=January 5, 2009}}.</ref> stated that starting in September, Dell Dimension desktop computers would have AMD processors and that later in the year Dell would release a two-socket, quad-processor server using AMD [[Opteron]] chips, moving away from Dell's tradition of only offering Intel processors in Dell PCs.

[[CNET]]'s News.com on August 17, 2006, cited Dell's CEO Kevin Rollins as attributing the move to AMD processors to lower costs and to AMD technology.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.cnet.com/Dented+Dell+picks+up+AMD+chips+amid+SEC+probe/2100-1014_3-6106905.html?tag=nl |title=Product reviews and prices, software downloads, and tech news - CNET |publisher=News.com.com |date=August 17, 2006 |access-date=December 4, 2012}}</ref> AMD's senior VP in commercial business, Marty Seyer, stated: "Dell's wider embrace of AMD processor-based offerings is a win for Dell, for the industry and most importantly for Dell customers."

On October 23, 2006, Dell announced new AMD-based servers&nbsp;&mdash; the PowerEdge 6950 and the [[PowerEdge]] SC1435.

On November 1, 2006, Dell's website began offering notebooks based on AMD processors (the Inspiron 1501 with a {{convert|15.4|in|mm|adj=on}} display) with the choice of a single-core MK-36 processor, dual-core Turion X2 chips or Mobile Sempron.<ref>{{cite web
