More AMD Price Cuts Coming

[malware]

DigiTimes is reporting that after Chartered recently confirmed 65nm production for AMD processors is expected to begin soon, AMD ought to announce another massive price cuts for its 90nm CPU product line. According to a report from Merrill Lynch Chia Song Hwee, CEO of Chartered, stated that AMD has completed all of its milestones for its 65nm ramp and production should begin soon. AMD itself announced the transition to 65nm process technology in December of last year. Meanwhile, despite several recent price cuts, inventory for AMD's entry-level 90nm parts remains an issue for the company, according to a recent report from Thomas Weisel Partners. The report indicated that AMD will likely cut related prices 30-35% on average on April 9.

you gotta love the intel squeeze since it means savings all round.

When i can buy an E4300 for 160$, overclock it to 4.26Ghz and have the most powerfull CPU on earth.. i think ill take that against an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ for how much is it now? 500$? and get less than half the performance.
Im only trying to balance out the AMD fanboy-ism here - with the truth. You have to admit that buying any AMD CPU wich the Core 2 Duo's at 160$ is only something a very biased fanboy would do.

nah, every1 out there isn't an overclocker. Many ppl want more ghz @ stock than they could oc sky high. Like for the business and home section these below 5200 X2's are kickass! You gotta admit that seeing the prices
But for enthusiasts (who are filled in this forum) Core2Duo OC Champs FTW! .

Hmmm, a cpu upgrade may be in my near future. A higher multi sure would come in handy.

4.26Ghz huh? I guess you don't know what kind of FSB clock you need.
(You are talking about 473.33Mhz FSB, and the cooling will cost more than your CPU)
Apparently most E6300 and E6400 won't get pass 3.8
tigger69 has one of the good OCs already. (And is on water cooling)

You haven't run a server before, have you? Opterons scale superbly.

Nevermind the TPM. You've never heard of Treacherous Computing, have you? Admittedly, I can omit support for it before compiling my kernel, but supporting it with any of my money would be against my principles.
