Have posted an article about AMD's propsed price cuts once Conroe hits.....

* AMD Athlon 64 price cuts will receive price cut up to 30%
* AMD Athlon 64 X2 will receive price cuts up to 50%
* AMD Sempron processors will receive price cuts up to 15%

We may see a ~€150 X2 3800:eek:

This is great news:)

P.s There was no mention of OPteron price cuts, they will more than likely remain high as they are in demand.........

Can't find the link at the moment but I think Intel are planning similar price cuts (trying to grab some market share back from AMD is what I read).

Also the venice 3800 is now $149:eek: thats more than a 50% price cut.....

And who wants cheap Pentium 4s when they can get cheap Athlon 64s?????:D

I bought the processor Ruu is talking about, and it's just gone from €240 to €195 on Komplett. I so totally should have waited

Lucky for me I'm planning on building a PC between now and the end of the year.

Unlucky for me, I won't have the cash for any of it for the next couple of months. Hope these price cuts stick around 'till then.

Excellent news, unfortunately I bought my X2-3800 about a month ago. Nasty!

You never gave me more to go on with that PM Conzy.

Well, the prices for Socket 939 kit are only going one way. down. So you'll be able to pick up a nice processor at a bargain.

Looks like Overclockers have now started cutting the x2 range prices. The 4200+ is going for €296. The retail version is going for €359. They surely couldnt be charging an extra €60 for shiny box and a fan?

YeAh!
