    Perhaps I am reading tea leaves:

    Article:
    HP, Dell win Israeli government tender
    http://www.physorg.com/news67605910.html

    at the end
    <<...
    The magazine noted that despite Intel's long presence and large investment in Israel, the tender will not include Intel processors, instead opting for those by AMD.
    ...>>

    Could this mean that the Dell Latitude 420 and 820 mentioned in the article will carry AMD processors? Dude, you're getting an AMD Dell...

    I think this is false, Dell will note be releasing AMD notebooks any time soon, certainly not this year.

    And the question also becomes - why would you want one? You get better performance per watt with an Intel Core chip...
