Been having fun watching prices the past week. Watched X2 5000 go from $459 to $329 to $702 in the past 18 hours.

What will X2 5000 do tomorrow?
What will it do on the 27th?
What will the Core 2s do?

Thoughts to contemplate


Peace

X2 5000 if you can find one will be $340
on the 27th it will be $320
Core 2s will launch at normal prices plus 21-30% inflated prices.

Or so says Caption Planet! :twisted:

Woooops.... yields must have taken a hit.... 702 bucks is amost the same as an FX-62.... :) Supply being tight on the 2.6 GHz parts, hmmmmm could that be forcing the price?

Supply and demand. Capatalism at its finest. Good for AMD and the e-tailers :D, bad for us :(
Its like watching prices at xmas, WTH?

That is it!! This will also likely happen to Core 2 Duo, as supply is tight for the few weeks maybe months after release the prices will fluctuate upward for a while --- Anand did a good commentary on this at the time.

i think that, as stock of processors bought before the price drop goes down, the overall prices will drop. This will probably take a week or two to see the expected price drops because vendors are trying to minimize losses.
