AMD to cut prices   Posted on 24/10/2006 at 00:01 by Nicolas

	AMD has just updated the processor price list : - Athlon 64 FX-62 : $713 (-13,8%) - Athlon 64 X2 4600+ EE : $240( -13%) - Athlon 64 X2 4200+ EE : $187 (-13%) - Athlon 64 X2 3800+ EE : $152 (-13,6%) - Athlon 64 3800+ : $108 (-3,6%) - Turion 64 X2 TL-60 : $263 (-25,7%) - Turion 64 X2 TL-56 : $220 (-16,3%) - Turion 64 X2 TL-52 : $184 (-16,4%) - Turion 64 X2 TL-50 : $154 (-16,3%) The only significant price cuts are the Turion 64 X2 and the Athlon 64 FX-62 which remains quite expensive ($713). We noticed a new Sempron 3800+ and the disappearance of the Sempron 2800+ (intermediate prices are unchanged). Finally, the most interesting update is that the Athlon 64 X2 Energy Efficient prices are now equivalent to the standard versions. This is probably due to the Athlon 64 X2 65nm imminent release. The power consumption of this processor will be 65W like the EE.
