AMD Plans Major CPU Price Drops Day After "Conroe"

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. Several of the dual-core components do not show a price drop, but it’s possible AMD has just not announced the pricing on these processors yet. The Athlon 64 FX model line will not receive any price reduction.

This was first talked about two days ago, but we now have prices. Does a 4200+ for $240 sound good to you? Splurging could get you a 5000+ for a mere $402. It still sounds too good to be true, really, but it will be interesting once July 24 hits.
