Bangalore, Sept. 18

Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) announced a few developments in the processor industry, starting with the new AMD-powered Lenovo laptops. Dell has also finally unveiled its first desktop PCs based on processors from AMD. The two new machines — Dimension C521 and Dimension E521 — can be ordered with AMD Sempron processor, an AMD Athlon 64 processor or an AMD Athlon 64X2 dual-core processor. "More and more customers are asking for AMD-based products.

AMD has demonstrated an ability to deliver great technology that customers want today and in the future. And AMD meets the requirements Dell has for being a partner — of capacity and quality," said Mr Michael Dell, Chairman, Dell, in a statement to the company. Another laptop maker Acer also plans a renewed emphasis on the desktop market, along with expanding its AMD-powered Ferrari line of notebooks later this year.
