I'm thinking about buying a CPU but keep seeing hints that socket 939 CPUs will be dropping with the release of AM2 CPUs. So I'm wondering if I should hold off for a discount or buy now before some of the choice socket 939 CPUs go out of production. So my question is, how low will socket 939 CPUs go (% price reduction) over the next couple of months???

So my question is, how low will socket 939 CPUs go (% price reduction) over the next couple of months???I would have to say very little until AM2 is at least 50% of shipments. a $400 939 will be $350 if the AM2 is $400.

AMD may drop prices when Conroe comes out, but don't expect them to drop when AM2 comes out because AM2 CPUs are priced higher than S939.
Don't really expect prices to drop much until the AM2 5000+ comes out. That should be about the price of the AM2 4800+, thus forcing other prices down a little. That should also affect S939 CPUs, but not as much.

Here's a nice table with prices
Source is at the top of that page. It's 1000 unit prices so retail will be a bit different.

OK, if 999 of you are into this, let's place a quantity order...
Actually, cool link - thanks!

As far as 939's go, I'd have to agree that they arn't going far in price or availability for quite some time.

Nope, the price won't go down, it will stay the same or go up. AMD will quit production and unless the market is flooded at that time, prices will go up as supplies dwindle...or stay the same if supplies dwindle at a slower rate than demand drops.:-D
I hope not.
If AM2 doesn't do it I hope coroe's release helps push prices lower.

I have heard that 939 opterons are going out of production because there little use for servers, All servers run the newer 940 opterons.d00d, 940 is OLDER than 939
yes but all server/workstations typically use 940(statisitically), 939's arnt selling near as much or whatnot. So on AMD's side it might be cheaper for them to produce only 940's

Well, why are there 939 server motherboards if the 939 opterons were built for pc'sCurrently there are 3 Opteron lines:
1xx Socket 939 1way Single Core and Dual Core using unbuffered DDR SDRAM intended for socket 939 desktop motherboards
2xx Socket 940 2way SMP Single Core and Dual Core using registered / registered ECC DDR SDRAM intended for socket 940 workstation / server motherboards
8xx Socket 940 4way and 8way SMP Single Core and Dual Core using registered / registered ECC DDR SDRAM intended for socket 940 workstation / server motherboards

939 "Opterons" are simply "workstation" chips designed to work with desktop boards.

correct me if i am wrong but arnt these 4 939 server motherboards right here, and one of them is made by tyan (taiwanese server specific company). So i mean wouldnt that indicate that they had intentions to use them as a server processor, considering that maybe the 939 socket was newer and more stable while running 1 chip instead of 2 like most 940's. heres those boards:

thus making 939 chip line included in the "Server/Workstation" domain. Not nessesarly creating a 939 chip for desktops. The opterons wont work in some 939 boards. (possibly due to lack of bios updates, possibly not)
sorry for quoting my self TG forums was running slow and i meant to hit edit my b.
