Dell is currently ruling out giving more prominence to newly released AMD Ryzen processors and APUs and says Intel is the primary solution for bringing its systems to life.

The arrival of AMD Ryzen processors has put Intel and its processors in a bind. Despite the fact that the competition between both companies is good for everyone, some brands continue to bet everything on a specific product. John Roese, who is CTO of Dell EMC, during a talk yesterday at the Mobile World Congress, was asked if the new AMD products and more specifically the APUs that combine Ryzen and Vega, would change the preferences of the company, to which it has responded, no.

Specifically Roese has said: 'Intel is the main big player, AMD is the second player. There is enough diversity between them that there are use cases to have them both in our product portfolio, but the breadth of Intel's processor portfolio alone is huge compared to the fast-paced world of AMD. '

Dell until the arrival of the Ryzen, only used Intel processors in their systems. Once these new AMD processors hit the market, some products were seen using AMD Ryzen processors, although they were in the minority. The new APUs, lead one to think, that they are a great solution for entry teams, by integrating graphics that are good and that can lead to cut the price of the equipment.

'AMD is doing some cool things, and adding them to our portfolio we pick up some additional areas, but let's be clear: there is a big dominant player in semiconductor computing, and then there is a challenger who is doing some very good innovative work called AMD. , but the gap between them is quite large in terms of market share and use cases. Therefore, our product portfolio is not going to change significantly. Users should not wait for us to offer a duopoly [on their products] in the short term, 'said Roese.

The company will continue to bet on Intel and leave the AMD Ryzen APUs in the background, since we must also take into account the APUs that Intel has developed, which integrate fairly trimmed AMD Vega graphics. This will allow the teams to more or less match the performance of a GTX 1050 Ti, so there will be a cut in consumption, the size of the systems and a reduction in costs.
