AMD Price Cuts.

CDdude55 · Aug 20, 2010

AMD recently reduced prices for about 20 of its desktop processors. According to sources from motherboard players, the price cuts are aimed at defending against competition from Intel.

AMD's quad-core Athlon II X4 640 CPU has seen its price drop from US$122 to US$99, while the dual-core Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition CPU dropped from US$105 to US$93, and the quad-core Phenom II X4 955 and 965 Black Edition both dropped US$26. Most of the company's other processors have seen drops up to US$10.

Man AMD seems so cheap.

3volvedcombat · Aug 20, 2010

think about it.

90% of there processor line

is under 150$

and the 145$ chips performance insanely good in games :toast:

idk if I'd say insanely... I mean there's only one competitor to compare it to, and it doesn't look too insane in comparison...

Am I the only one that thinks it is stupid to have the 630. 635, and 640 all at $100...

I find that incredibly offending. I enjoy buying a lesser processor for the same price as a better processor. :slap:

I'm going to go for a drive now to settle down and calm my nerves. I love my car, it's a Toyota Camry that I bought from a Porsche dealer used car lot for the price of a new Camry. Good day sir! :cry:

What ??? 199 bucks for X6 1055T :banghead:

Man, it seems to be nothing to my country right now,

Wish to have a X4 945 now

crazyeyesreaper · Aug 20, 2010

wish i had the OEM 1035T seen them at Dell and HP..... if 1035T was around id nab one ..... gotta laugh at the prices and i love not to insane vs competitors avg and max frame rates dont mean squat if everyone tanks to 1fps :toast:

and all cpus seems to have close to the same minimiums that included an i7 920 vs a x2 240 etc altho ill concede the 920 will give a better gameplay experience i think my point is made that said DAMN YOU AMD RELEASE A 1035T for $176

+1

Thats my main stiple with AMD's lineup, they don't let up on the prices.....even a year later! Which is why I'm getting rid of my 5850 and waiting for the refresh come at the end of the year.
I still don't require anything powerful enough to use a 5850 right now, but next year I will have use for something that powerful or more once the games I am anticipating come out

Jflynn0 · Aug 20, 2010

lol I will agree with the I R A :nutkick:

We are talking about gaming. AMD always does well in that comparison. It wins some, loses some, and ties most. For the price to performance in games, insanely is the work to use.

God damn it, i just bought my 965BE two week ago, timing....

MilkyWay · Aug 20, 2010

Second hand the x4 965/955 are really cheap and they are BE they make decent gaming rigs, also those x6s are nice but $100 more for a BE is stupid! I hate how AMD release so many similar CPU with like 100mhz of difference or something.

Come on! sly AMD bashing? You guys :shadedshu

Also wish they would drop the card prices since the GTX460 came out its practically took over the price to performance ratio in mid range. £220 for a 5850 is still a bit much compared to £165 for a 1gb Palit GTX460

mdsx1950 · Aug 20, 2010

The prices are really unbelievable. I feel like building an AMD rig now

I agree with that. lol

Some great prices, especially for people like me who just do a ton of gaming mainly.

vMG · Aug 20, 2010

AlienIsGOD · Aug 20, 2010
