Why I like the Athlon 64: Intel price cuts!

Intel cuts prices with more aimed at AMD to follow

Works for me....

nice.... some agreesive competetion.. im sure amd will follow up with a price cut soon as well.. this is very good =)

Who else wants to see a price war? I know I do....

USAPGAPRO · Oct 6, 2003

I do I do.

I doubt amd can survive a price war... so until they start turning quarterly profits in the cpu sector, I don't.

That's a good point which I hadn't considered. I'm actually all for the AMD 64's, I'm just not ready to get one yet...

If this actually starts a price war it would not be the first one. When AMD beat Intel to the 1ghz boundry that kicked off a pricewar which was actually terrible for both companies (heh so nice for us though

)

2.8C for $218 looks nice.

Sehr Gut!

I just wish I had enough money to buy somethin. I'd get a sweet rig goin in a lanboy case and somehow get it in my future car.

Yeah, we don't need amd to die from a pricewar...their prices are relatively cheap compared to intel most of the time anyways

Concur.

According to the price cut road map the 2.4c will cost the same as the 2.6c?

JohnnyCNote · Oct 7, 2003

Maybe that's because the 2.4 is supposed to be discontinued...

I'm intrested in seing what the prices for lower clocked A64's will be. In the biggest finish computer store there is allready A64's as xp2800's, xp3000's, xp3200's and xp3400's. I predict the 2800's will be pretty competitivly priced.

Shade00 · Oct 7, 2003

It just looks like Intel is cutting prices to prepare for faster CPUs. They don't look like the kind of price cuts that'll kill AMD, either. Intel would have to start selling those 2.6s for under $100.

shiyan · Oct 7, 2003

they seem to just discontinue anything that is slower than the $163 dollar chip.

wannaoc · Oct 9, 2003

This is a very god thing. Hopefully the 64 will drop soon to match as its way too overpriced right now. But thats the way new computer harware is.

dropadrop · Oct 9, 2003

I don't think the A64 is overpriced compared to the competition, but ofcourse the price will drop soon.

Hedgehogforprez · Oct 9, 2003

Pricewatch has the a64 3200+ at 399$ right now, that to me is a damn good deal since the 3.0c is 383$ on there.

JohnnyCNote · Oct 9, 2003

The 3.0c is supposed to drop about $100 in a week or so, according to the article I read (see above). I wonder how long before the A64 drops....
