Phenom II X4 In For Price-Cuts?

btarunr · Jan 19, 2009, 04:04 PM

Barely a month into its launch, AMD's newest processors, the Phenom II X4 920 and Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition, are already in for global price-cuts, of as much as 20%, in the days to come. Sources close to the company indicate that the price-cuts are in view of the recent announcement by Intel to significantly lower the prices of certain models of its Core 2 Quad lineup, which pose direct competition to AMD's new chips.

Once implemented, the Phenom II X4 920 would sell for US $195, down from its launch-price of $235, and a whole $50 would be waived off the $275 price-tag of the Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition, sending it down to $225. These price-cuts are not yet officially confirmed or announced by AMD, and so it isn't known as to when exactly they get officially implemented. All prices in 1000 unit tray quantities.

Though i7 seem to be the performance toppers of the tests, AMD still amazes me how much of a fight they have put up in the price segment. Go AMD!

ShadowFold · Jan 19, 2009, 04:29 PM

Once those 940's hit 200$ I'm getting one.

Weer · Jan 19, 2009, 04:32 PM

I wonder if it's possible for AMD to truly release something spectacular in terms of price/performance that Intel will not meet.

Jan 19, 2009, 04:34 PM

No its not possible, in fact impossible.

Intel's latest results saw an incredible -90% decrease in sales compared to the same period last year (>$200M instead of $2B+), AMD has been bleeding cash for years now, they simply cannot afford it.

Odin Eidolon · Jan 19, 2009, 04:39 PM

Go amd, go!

we need more competition!

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jan 19, 2009, 04:40 PM

Hmm .. now a phenom is looking attraactive

TheGuruStud · Jan 19, 2009, 04:48 PM

Damn great news for us, bad for AMD (they are selling well from what I can gather)

suraswami · Jan 19, 2009, 04:54 PM

will there be a possibility the 920 go for under $150 because of new budget Quad bubble gums from I monster?

Yes but not this week

HolyCow02 · Jan 19, 2009, 05:15 PM

like someone said above, this is good for us, bad for the company. They just aren't making any money when they keep dropping the prices like this

PVTCaboose1337 · Jan 19, 2009, 05:34 PM

I'll pick one of these up after the price cuts. Good prices now!

TheMailMan78 · Jan 19, 2009, 05:43 PM

My 8650 seems very slow all of a sudden

newtekie1 · Jan 19, 2009, 06:50 PM

This is great for the consumers, I love it. AMD is forcing Intel into price cuts, and Intel is forcing AMD into price cuts, which will force Intel into more price cuts...

I love competition, hopefully the new AM3 Phenoms are out at similar prices, I'll more than likely pick one up to replace my aging s939 machine.

WarEagleAU · Jan 19, 2009, 07:09 PM

I like it but they need to make some money. I dont know how much they are losing, but eventually sales should overtake the loss

That's 214$ USD

X-TeNDeR · Jan 19, 2009, 09:07 PM

Hell Yeah! Decent Quads for as low as a Phenom X4 B2 OC!
Love the price wars, lets hope AMD holds on.

Go AMD Go!

Flyordie · Jan 19, 2009, 09:46 PM

Newegg just cut theirs...
$195 for 920
$235 for 940

spearman914 · Jan 19, 2009, 09:49 PM

You can build a monster rig with those prices.

Kei · Jan 19, 2009, 09:51 PM

I don't know if I should be happy because I've already got one and paid the extra $25 for the extra time I've had with it.....or sad that I didn't wait a couple days haha.

Oh well I gladly give AMD a few more bucks if it helps them at all. Anyone that was on the fence about these processors has no reason not to jump now, they're truly excellent even if you go with the locked multiplier PII 920 like I did. It still clocks like mad as long as you've got the board to do it.

3.724Ghz on the stock heatsink I think is pretty good haha. This is a STEAL for anyone getting one at these prices now!

Kei Join Date: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,733 (0.91/day) Thanks: 1,936 Thanked 618 Times in 507 Posts System Specs	I don't know if I should be happy because I've already got one and paid the extra $25 for the extra time I've had with it.....or sad that I didn't wait a couple days haha. Oh well I gladly give AMD a few more bucks if it helps them at all. Anyone that was on the fence about these processors has no reason not to jump now, they're truly excellent even if you go with the locked multiplier PII 920 like I did. It still clocks like mad as long as you've got the board to do it. 3.724Ghz on the stock heatsink I think is pretty good haha. This is a STEAL for anyone getting one at these prices now! Kei
