Dell announced yesterday that it will now begin using AMD Opteron chips in their multi-processor servers. This comes as a surprise, since Dell has used Intel CPUs exclusively up until now.

In the enterprise, we will launch new ninth generation servers featuring Intel’s Woodcrest microprocessors. Dell will also introduce new AMD Opteron processors in our multi-processor servers by the end of the year offering a great new technology to our customers at the high-end of our server line.
