Rory Read, the former CEO of chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices and former executive with Lenovo and IBM, is close to a deal to join Dell, the privately-held computing company, according to multiple sources briefed on the hiring, which could be announced as early as Monday. It wasn't clear as of Friday precisely what Read's title and role will be at Dell, though sources consistently described it as a "C-Level" position, likely in the Enterprise Group, where he would be reporting to chief commercial officer Marius Haas.
