Any realistic possibility that there will be a price drop on the X4 955 within the next couple of weeks? I don't know about AMD's pricing strategy, however, with the August 13 launch of the X4 965 I'm intrigued.

I doubt it will be dropping so that the 965 can take its price point, the purpose for AMD to release a faster processor is to make more money from it. However with I5 coming in September, it is likely to have effect on CPU prices and around that time we'll probably see more price drops.

This is however just my speculation, can't say for sure either way what will happen.
