I heard that it'll have another on 7th April, but I haven't hear a confirmation yet.
So I'm wondering if AMD gonna have another price-cut in Canada.
Thank you.

I would assume it would be across the board in North America especially considering that AMD has holdings in Canada.

I made a few posts on other threads linking to a German site that indicated that a AMD price cut was coming on April 7th. I am not sure if it was my post you saw or not. I originally found the artical on Nordichardware.com about a month ago which referenced the German website that broke the story.

Here is the English translation:

This is only a logical move for AMD and one out of neccessity since Intel has annouced an across the board price cut on April 20th.

Thanx Wayne, I'll just wait till 7th April then, hoping the price will jump alot.

I think the last price cut was 30% back in 2007.

I noticed the prices on Newegg have been slowly crawling upwards:

Example:
At the beginning on the month an AMD 64x2 5000 black edition chip was $89.
Now it is $99.

I think the prices are climbing up slowly to make the fall appear greater than what it actually may be.

What if you could get an AMD 64x2 5000 black edition for like $75 after April 7th?
That would be an incredible bargain.

Especially if you could clock it up to 3.1 gigahertz which would be close to AMD 64x2 6000 speed.

I'm getting 4200+ so I'm hoping it'll drop to $50
Tanx again Wayne, 2more weeks!

I currently have an AMD 64x2 4200. It is a good chip but I would spend the few extra to get a 64x2 5000 black edition. You can overclock to 64x2 6000 speed at stock voltage with no extra heat.

Read this article before you buy:

Actualy, that isn't few , 74$ and 110$
Just getting a cheap CPU so I can pass my date till 45nm Phenom

If you wait until April 7th you will be able to buy a Blackedition 5000 for what you will pay for a 4200 today.

2 weeks...come on. You can wait that long.

Yes, of course I'm waiting till that day, but since I'm not a OCer, I may get a 5000+ if the price isn't too high

Newegg dropped their prices on the 5000 Black Edition today. It is down to $84

I have an amd 5000 BE. Overclocking it is super easy. Get the 5000 BE! You'll love it.

2 questions:

1. What kind of mobo do you have?

2. Do you just go in to the bios, select the multiplier, then bump it up to like 15.5x?

April 7th is right around the time I hope to be ordering parts for a new build. I can't claim to need it, but I'd love to pick up a quad real cheep.

legitreviews http://www.legitreviews.com/article/682/1/ says the 9850 will debue at $235. That seems like a fair price for a quad.
I dont expect the dual cores will go down much. There just isn't room for a lot of change there.

10$ drop is also a big different
