AMD Price Updates

[neonerd]

For anybody interested

Effective April 10th, the desktop AMD Athlon? 64 and AMD Athlon? 64 X2 processors will have
a small price adjustment upwards, adding a few dollars to the current prices of these products.
AMD is confident that these products will continue to deliver outstanding price performance to
the market. AMD Athlon? 64 FX is not impacted by these moves and will hold flat in price.

* Effective May 15th, the AMD Sempron? prices will adjust downwards. The May 15th pricing will
also include socket AM2 pricing for many AMD Athlon and AMD Sempron branded products in order
to provide guidance on product pricing prior to launch. We believe that this full product
offering of socket AM2 products will drive a hard and fast transition to the AM2 platform as well
as drive cost effective motherboard solutions.

Yea the 939 semprons are on the way and AMD also probable does not want to sell to many Athlon 939 chips since they are gearing up for the new socket.

I haven't owned an Intel since the Pentium 200 MHz...I don't intend that to change soon! I hope AM2 CPU prices are decent.

To be fair, I don't think you can actually wear the performance crown unless people can actually buy your product. It does look as if intel will have the performance crown...six months from now.
