The new exact new prices for the higher-end AMD dual-core microprocessors are unclear, but given that the fastest chip from the company is currently sold for $251, it is highly likely that the price corrections will not be substantial and will be generally meant to align pricing of AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors with mainboards based on AMD chipsets so that to attract attention of system integrators to AMD’s platforms.

Price slashing is good...It may put some heat on the Intel boys to do the same.

Same as old netburst story. Only this time we will be having 2-3-4 core choice for the new technology when it will reach us.

There are some tech addicted people around who cannot afford all the new tech they want, and hate it when they cannot upgrade gaining 10 to 20% because of the price (you know the type, "my rig is better than yours" ). This will drive them crazy. And the war to overclocking as Phenoms and Cores are comparable clock for clock... it will be awesome.

I will be having a lot of fun myself. I generally upgrade with a 300 $ CPU, 200$ GPU, 100$ RAM and 150$ Board when the next hop offers me at least twice the performance. And I don't throw the old system away (or sell it), because they (all the old systems) still offer great experience for other members of my household.

I got a $40 CPU last time (my 3700, second hand :D), and a $100 mobo. The mobo is not worth $10.

i always look forward to these price cuts! just hope the 5200+, which i think AMD released a blank edition with unlock multiplier, gets a decent price drop. might just pick it up!

I always compare price/performance ratios, and bracket the price range of the customer. That way he gets the best bang/buck and I look like Scotty on Star Trek. <smile>

Come to think of it, he never looked very good. Maybe I shoud have said, I appear to have the same engineering prowess.

everyone should run a i7 920 at 4GHz

I hope intel raises prices then the stock will go up!

I doubt intel will match they have the crap-o-la chips 21xx already

Don't bag the E21xx they are good budget chips and (except the E2140 it seems) overclock very well. I've seen the E2180 get to 3.8 I believe, and it will probably go higher.

The Pentium Dual Cores we make at work are very cheap and perform pretty damn well. If you want to get good OCes for cheap, Pentium Dual Cores are the way to go.

Hard to beat a e2160 w/a $80-$100 p35 mobo right now, due to the OC'ability of them. AMD's can be cheaper, but don't OC nearly as much, which makes them a good decent STOCK build right now.

Yes, I am in agreement, the 2160 dual is quite a barnstormer.

AMD should have dropped the prices before. But anyways, given that the prices are already pretty low, as the article states, there shouldn't be a large price drop. Maybe $10-$20? Well I'm glad
