LOL, yes, I can see how those pesky journalist might have "read too much" into the CEO's statement that AMD chip inside is "a distinct possibility", I mean, that's such an ambiguous statement- not!

Interesting that a CIO should say that he - and us, the customer - doesn't care what CPU is inside: the AMD is cheaper. Since when did CIOs stop caring about the profitability from the lines of business?

If, at the end of the day, the AMD is cheaper and does the same job as the Intel, then surely from a CIO’s "we don't give a sh*t" perspective, it makes better business sense to go with the lower cost production option. Now why would a company choose the more expensive option? Ooo, tough one that… as if we couldn't guess ¬.¬
