Sunnyvale (CA) – According to media reports, AMD will be decreasing tray prices for its desktop processors by up to 26%.
AMD apparently will be ringing in another chapter in the CPU price war with Intel, lowering the prices for most of its desktop processors almost half a year before the anticipated introduction of the next-generation Phenom processor.
All mainstream processors are now priced well below the $200 mark: The fastest mainstream dual-core CPU Athlon X2 6000+ will be available for $178 (before: $241), according to the new list. The 5600+ drops from $188 to $157, the 5200+ from $178 to $136, the 5000+ from $167 to $125 and the 4800+ from $136 to $115. more....
