AMD cuts prices...

djbbenn · Oct 24, 2005, 09:29 PM

AMD announced price cuts up to 26% on their mobile Turion 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64, Sempron, and mobile Sempron CPU's for desktop and laptops. However, none of their other CPU’s including the Opteron, Athlon 64, and Athlon 64 FX have been effected by these price cuts. Read more, and get the price lists at digitimes.com

Seems like Intel has a little more competition on their hands now.

I see what you meant about waiting to get an X2

All good things come with time.

It was the same with my cpu, I waited a little longer and saved myself over $150 Canadian.

They will stop producing that processor. It will become harder and harder to get a hold of untill there are none left.

Socket 754 Semprons. They are 64 bit and have SSE3, but just not the same
