Bad news for AMD

In another battle in the war for chip-making supremacy, IBM (NYSE: IBM) without fanfare has pulled Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) processors from computers it sells in North America in favor of Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), IBM confirmed Tuesday.

No, too few. They need the tax break from losing money.

Then there's the article saying that IBM is going to use an Intel chip in a new server. (Not to say that there is any connection or that AMD sells a hot processor which could be used in a server...) Anyway, are IBM sales of computers outside of North America significant??

yeah, they got a huge project in Britain recently.

According to an International Data Corporation (IDC) article on June 13, 2001, “IBM is the number one server vendor worldwide in terms of factory revenue for the first quarter 2001…outselling Sun Microsystems by a 60 percent margin.”

I think it looks like the customer wanna have "intel inside".
