AMD slashes processor prices

AMD today slashed prices across its product range, timed to follow the launch of its latest Opteron processors and knocking up to 35 per cent off the price of most products.

The axe wasn't just taken to AMD's workstation/server chips, but to its mainstream Athlon 64 desktop and notebook products. All Athlon 64s for desktops, desktop replacement laptops, full-size notebooks and thin'n'light mobiles saw their prices reduced - only the Athlon 64-FX remained immune.
