Dell’s wasting no time appropriating AMD’s brand-new Phenom II X6 chips, pulling out the code brand-new Studio XPS line to understanding with a new tip of a line (and the couple of quad cores as well) from “which alternative processor company.” While AMD can bluster about having some-more cores during a mid-range price, Dell isn’t perplexing to pass these off as pristine foe for Intel’s fruit: a Studio XPS 7100 line is AMD-only, whilst a Core i-based Studio XPS 8100 desktops have been a transparent step up indication number-wise. The 7100 baseline complement, with integrated graphics, goes for $699, though Dell’s you do this with an fan point, make-up in the 460 watt energy supply to energy up some whim graphics as well as giving hardcore users room to grow.

We got to check out the $1,199 complement using the AMD Phenom II X6 1050T, which is ostensible to be rather allied to an Intel Core i5 760, as well as paired up with ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics as well as 6GB of IMPEL the machine creates for the flattering parsimonious gaming supply. Unfortunately, AMD’s top-of-line 5970 graphics are being hold for a Studio XPS 8100, as well as AMD’s most appropriate brand-new X6 chip, a 1090T (roughly the Core i7 870), won’t be available from Dell until this summer. Still, if you’re seeking for the good change in between cost as well as opening, AMD as well as Dell competence have something to suggest with this new understated desktop setup.
