Dell is expected to offer a desktop PC using a microprocessor from AMD in September, Citigroup analysts said Tuesday.

Citigroup analyst Glen Yeung told Reuters that he and colleagues were basing this on information from PC component makers in Asia.

Dell spokesman Jess Blackburn declined to comment on the note. Yeung said details of the desktop computer's configuration were not available.

Installing AMD chips in desktop computers would be a further step in Dell's budding relationship with AMD after Dell for 22 years exclusively used processors from chipmaker Intel.

Dell in March agreed to buy privately held Alienware, a maker of high-end computers for video game enthusiasts. Dell may now be getting ready to offer AMD chips in lower-end desktops as AMD processors are available in some Alienware PCs and soon will be in Dell servers, Yeung said.
