Dell Inc. could roll out a Advanced Micro Devices Inc. chip based desktop computer as early as September, according to a Wall Street analyst.

"Citigroup Investment Research has confirmed from industry sources that Dell will offer an AMD based desktop in September of this year. No details of box configuration are available. We note that AMD has recently expressed confidence that they will gain share in the second half of the year, and we point to this win as the basis for this confidence," Citigroup analyst Glen Yeung wrote in a note.
