The memos only mention the AM2 processors; however the AM2 parts are now priced identically with Socket 939 components. AMD has previously indicated that the aim of the AM2 processors was to be price competitive with its legacy components. Intel already announced that it will also cut prices of its Pentium D and Pentium 4 processors between now and the general availability of Conroe.
With most AMD price drops, we usually see the X2 series overlooked, but not this time. Apparently, they will be dropping up to 50% of their retail value? That seems too good to be true, but it may be worth it to wait another month if you are planning an AM2 rig.
