Upcoming AMD Price Cuts
Upcoming AMD Price Cuts
In what seems to be a grab at the mid-range market, AMD has given word on price cuts across the board on their CPUs, ranging from 10-20%.
| Product | Old price ($) | New price ($) |
| Phenom X4 9950 BEÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 186 | 175 |
| Phenom X4 9850 BE | 180 | 165 |
| Phenom X4 9750 | 170 | 154 |
| Phenom X3 8750 | 134 | 124 |
| Phenom X3 8650 | 123 | 104 |
| Athlon X2 6400+ | 102 | 87 |
| Athlon X2 6000+ | 95 | 77 |
| Athlon X2 5600+ | 88 | 70 |
| Athlon X2 5400+ | 78 | 66 |
| Athlon 64 LE-1640 | 40 | 36.50 |
| Phenom X4 9750B | 224 | 165 |
| Phenom X3 8600B | — | 110 |
| Athlon X2 5400B | — | 71 |
Considering that Intel’s latest Core i7 platform is targeting more of the high-end market, it looks like AMD is trying to entice lower-level buyers with the idea of bang for the buck.
Will these cuts help AMD gain more ground and help set up their 45nm Phenom II launch?
