Number two PC maker Dell, which recently embraced a new partnership with chipmaker AMD, has launched a desktop range running Intel's new quad-core processors, as well as quad-core servers. The addition of quad-core processors from Intel to Dell's stable highlights the gap in the AMD range that currently exists.

According to Dell, the addition of quad-core processors across the Dell Precision desktop portfolio underscores Dell's commitment to deliver the highest performance and scalability in standards-based professional workstations. "Quad-core processors combined with Dell's faster and more scalable memory architecture and latest OpenGL graphics, mean professional workstation customers can handle the most demanding multithreaded applications faster and more easily than ever," an Intel statement read.

Dell customers can now configure the two-socket Dell Precision 690 and Dell Precision 490 with new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, while the single-socket Dell Precision 390 supports the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor.

"Performance of heavily multithreaded applications such as Autodesk 3D Studio Max rendering component, can scale dramatically with the addition of processor cores. When configured with quad-core Intel Xeon processors, the Dell Precision 690 and 490 workstations can deliver performance gains of up to 54% on multi-threaded applications," Dell claims.{moscomment}
