AMD can't be doing too badly...

[ddeder]

The Socket 754 Athlon 64 3000+ CPUs have gone up in price over $10 over the past few weeks. What's the deal?

What's the point of getting a 754 now anyway? :Q

So I guess when AMD does those big price cuts, they're doing so poorly that they'll have to close up shop?

Price fluctuation, in this instance, is really not a good way to measure how well a company is doing.

budget computing? 754 is still a bit cheaper than 939, isnt it? i may have to get new parts for my comp, and for $125 i can get a semrpon64 2800+ and mobo.. thats just a 939 CPU

then again, not everyone is as cheap/poor as me😀

10$.. Probably just a fluctuation.

It's just supply/demand. Socket 754 is discontinued so the supply has stopped, but some demand is still there.

AMD recently cut prices on their current inventory.

The socket A semprons went up $10 about 2 weeks ago

Socket A stuff has been steadily rising for at least a year now.

I don't have a link to confirm it, but I believe they're planning to discontinue the A64 on 754, and leave 754 to Sempron
