They did more than plan, I have a rack full of older Dell servers with AMD CPUs.

When I say "did this for ages", I'm reaching back to the turn of the millennium. It started happening about as soon as AMD brought their first competitive chip to the market.

Dell did eventually start shipping servers with AMD processors in them, but it was long after they first started saying "We may start selling AMD based servers."
