AMD 25% Price drop

[FarFarAway]

AMD are dropping a helluva lot of prices at the end of the moneth so if your getting an A64 then maybe good to wait.

Some Companies have already dropped them in readyment (SCAN in the UK are doing awesome deals on the 939 Opterons). I'm happy as it means my proccie for my SFF is gonna be cheap as chips (badoomcha!)

AMD took the axe to its desktop and mobile processor families this morning, chopping up to 26 per cent off what it charges for its chips.

The company reduced prices for its mobile Turion 64, dual-core desktop Athlon 64 X2 series, Mobile Athlon 64 products, and both mobile and desktop Sempron processors.

Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX prices remain unchanged, though AMD took the opportunity to drop its two bottom-most Athlon 64 parts, the 3000+ and 2800+. The Mobile Athlon 64 2800+ is also no longer with us.

Gone too are the Socket 754 desktop Semprons, the remaining Socket A desktop Semprons and all Socket 939 versions without 64-bit support.

AMD's full price list, valid as of 24 October 2005, can be found here. ®
