I got this email from AMD(I'm in tech support, not sales but AMD salespro gives cool free stuff) 😉

"Dear AMD Distributor Partners,

This is a reminder that the next price move for most AMD processors is this coming MON, January 28, 2002. Be sure to tell all your customers.

Good Selling!
AMD SalesPro Team "


 


<< just go to newegg.com, the prices on most of the AMD processers have already dropped for a few days now. >>



And they will be dropping again 🙂
 
I doubt it, at least not the retail prices. For example, after the price cuts the retail Athlon 1800 is expected to sell for $160.00, newegg is already selling it for that price. Looks like the OEM prices might go down some more though. If you have different information though I'd love to hear it?


 
I had heard about this price drop a couple weeks ago. I'm gonna get myself and XP at the computer meet next weekend and this is perfect timing.
 
I was looking forward to this but there has been (so far, 10am 1-28) nothing announced on the major sites. Something is fishy here!
 
Hike, not under today's markets.

Congrats to who called it. AMD just announced their cuts, along with Intel.

Intel's biggest price drop was the 1.6-GHz Pentium 4, reduced 18%, from $163 to $133. The 1.8-GHz Pentium 4, dropped from $225 to $193--a big decrease from April, says Technology Business Research analyst Brooks Gray, when the 1.8-GHz chip was selling at $562 in 1,000-unit quantities. "Mainstream buying behavior continues to shift from performance to value," Gray says.

AMD introduced the Athlon 4 processor 1500+, which runs at 1.3 GHz, and cut prices for other chips. The 1600+ chip dropped nearly 20%, from $160 to $130. The 1700+ dropped 17%, from $190 to $157, and the 1800+ fell 16%, from $223 to $188.
