AMD Announces 07/23 Price Cuts

Those expecting AMD to announce another price cut in time for the holiday season will be disappointed. DailyTech has received an updated price list for October 23rd, 2006 that shows AMD has no plans to reduce prices on its Athlon 64 and Sempron desktop product lineups anytime soon. Pricing on Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 X2 EE and Sempron will stay the same well into 2007 which may disappoint users expecting a sub-$100 dual-core AMD offering in time for the holidays to compete with Intel’s $95 Pentium D 805.

I don’t think anyone will mind the lack of a holiday price cut when they can buy a 5000+ for around $300US! If you are one of the few who held off for these cuts, you will certainly not be disappointed.
