[NicColt]

According to this Register's article
"the 1.33GHz part, drops 48 per cent to $183"

This is damm good news on the AMD front, I wasn't too far off in my predictions

 

[Davegod75]

cool so we should see prices around 120ish????

Gotta love the AMD price cuts

The bad thing about AMD price cuts is that they are usually already lower. Pricewatch already showed ~$180 over the weekend.

i love the price cuts, hehehe it keeps my system upgraded

Yee Haw, this is great AMD rocks!

Talk about a race for the bottom! Intel used to charge 5x as much for chips as it does now. A P3 1.0 GHz was over $1K. Now you can get an AMD 1.3 GHz chip for under $200. This has got to hurt Intel.

It is too bad AMD doesn't have more FABs. That is the only thing keeping them from getting more marketshare.

Ya this is great. I am looking to finally upgrade and this is the first time I've been able to afford one of the, if not the fastest CPUs and not having to worry about overclocking to achieve the highest performance if I don't want to. The last CPU I bought was an Intel P3 800 for about $250 which barely even overclocked to 960 with a Leufken peltier kit and the 933s were still about $500. And its funny to think I barely bought this stupid 800 like in October 2000.

The price cuts have already began to take effect and the lowest price now on pricewatch for the 1.33 is in the $170 range. I'm expecting it to go a little lower, like to $160 but not much less then that.

The delay on the price cuts with some vendors, is due to existing stock that they have no price protection on.
