AMD drops its CPU prices again

[PV5150]

Looking for a bargain? The AMD 6000+ will cost less than the 5600+ did last week according to our news article

Good god. This makes me wonder if they were just making a huge profit to start, or are willing to make a loss too boost sales.

Muchios cheapo!

I feel for AMD tho...all they seem to have at the moment is price cuts to keep the punters rolling in

Yeh, makes you wonder what the manufacturing costs are. They've got to be selling at least half of that lineup at a loss??

Urgh, this is for AM2 isn`t it ? >.<

 

[FarFarAway]

It's totally crazy, goddamn

Wow, now it looks like AMD has achieved a better price to performance ratio than Intel on its mainstream parts. The 6000 is now a great bargain, I may pick one up if the price is as the article says.

this is good for those of us looking to build a backup system on the cheap

cheep bit of generic ram, a cheap am2 motherboard, and a 6000+, and voila, power on the cheep side

Keep it up and i might actualy upgrade to AM2 instead of AM2+.

Maybe they should just give the chips away - then they'll regain a nice sizeable market share

Thought about that tbh, especially when looking in OC3D FS section. It`s all too tempting, gotta stop mehself.

Suits me I hope AMD's next lineup will give some to Intel I'm faithful to the AMD :worship:

But the Intel offerings cannot be ignored in terms of performance to cost.
