I just received this information in an email from AMD because I am a solution provider thought I would pass it along.
AMD recently announced new top frequency parts in the Second Generation
AMD Opteron? 2200 and 8200 Series product lines. These parts will be introduced at the current top price points within standard price stacks for each series.
This will create even more aggressive price points, with a price waterfall on currently shipping frequencies of AMD Opteron 200/2200 and 800/8200 Series products.
Effective Monday, August 6, selected AMD Opteron processors will have a reduction in suggested prices as follows:
First Generation AMD Opteron? 200 Series Processors: between 18% and 32% price reduction
Second Generation AMD Opteron? 2200 Series Processors: between 9% and 32% price reduction
First Generation AMD Opteron? 800 Series Processors: between 20% and 25% price reduction
Second Generation AMD Opteron? 8200 Series Processors: between 20% and 30% price reduction
Please contact your authorized AMD distributor for specific pricing and availability details.
The launch of these higher performing parts and the subsequent price change on currently shipping parts provides continuous improvement in AMD Opteron competitive performance and pricing, while also ensuring continuing support of currently shipping AMD Opteron processors.
