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 BE              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?
