Sauces have revealed that AMD has committed a large proportion of these cards to Dell

That on purpose?

I don't think so. There wasn't really an original dell debacle so there can't really be a repeat.

What we've got here is...fai...sorry.

What we have here is a bit of licentious 'reporting' by Hexus's newest addition. I'll be watching to make sure that intel get their fair share too. :)

yup, yes channel supplies are low, thats because end users buying their own gfx cards for their computers are 1 for every 1000 people in the world who get their gfx cards with a prebuilt computer. Why on earth would anywhere near the full amount of available cards go anywhere but to guys like Dell and HP.

Frankly its the sales to HP/Dell that make them money, not the 1000 ocuk will sell. Yes as an end user who will buy my own card myself its a pain, but fully understandable, if I was AMD i'd be giving the most cards to my prefered customers and John Doe ordering a single card from Scan isn't that person, Dell ordering 25k now and 3 million of all their cards in the next two years, is that customer.

I think its fair enough, and I am just happy that AMD are getting back on track to making money (perhaps not quite there yet!). Its quite a good position to have a company like Dell so interested in your product that they gobble up 90% of your stock straight off!

Always wonder how companies don't make enough stock for some items, hope they don't sell out too fast. :s
