Dell Alienware acquisition starts AMD relationship


Dell has 15% of global PC market and up to 30% of the USA market. Its tie with AMD might weakened long time established exclusive relations with Intel . Alienware high performance AMD systems.
To put things in perspective, Freedman said that he and his colleagues estimate that Alienware currently ships about 85,000 systems per year — less than one half of one percent of the overall PC market. Alienware's systems, he said, are basically for people who used to build systems of their own but now can afford to buy them.

"It's very similar to the way that Dell got started," Freedman said of Alienware's business model.

Thus starting on June 6th, we can expect at least some 6-7000 AMD processors based systems each month from Dell. End of monopolistic story. Dell rises its market share in Japan, where its ties with Intel are no effective any more, after latest Intel verdict. To still keep its position there, Dell needs someone to offer competitive processor in Japan and soon in the others countries. Alienware.
