AMD CPU's went down in price

[_N_]

don't know if anyone else noticed this, but:

AMD Duron 950MHz - $67.50
AMD Duron 1.3GHz - $90.00
AMD Athlon XP1600+ - $133.88
AMD Athlon XP2100+ - $234.00

wow, that's getting pretty cheap, I mean a duron 950 for less than 70$ :eek:

also, the intel chips are a bit cheaper,
Intel Celeron 1GHz - $100.13
Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz - $325.13


just wondering, why are the AMD chips sooo cheap?

hmm, if those prices hold a few weeks, fatsanchez is getting an XP2100 for christmas :)

to clear stock... before christmas is the best time to clear old stock, then at the start of next year they can release the new and shiny's

AMD has a policy to be 20-25% cheaper at the same speed grade, dont know if they still try to hold that now
i would say they are trying to get all excess stock out of inventory and move totally onto tbred

:( I bought an XP1600+ at about $140. That extra $7 could have bought me lunch :p

btw it does 1900+ and posts at 2000+ Rams holding me back.
