Price Cuts for AMD in a couple days.

[assemblage]

I'm looking at a s939 3000 winchester CPU and noticed that Monarch computer has lowered their price from $160 for the retail version to $148. Says it's a future price cut scheduled for 2/16 and they'll ship the cpus then. Linky. They haven't marked the 3200 down, but have the 3500 and some others.

While I'm at it, is this GA-K8NS-939 (non ultra) for $85 a good oc board?. I really don't need the firewire or the SATA or RAID or dual ethernet controllers.

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 512K 90nm (939) (Retail Box-w-Fan)

AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 (939) (Retail Box-w-Fan) (ETA 02/28)
Code: 120465
Price: $999.00

sad thing is I paid $160 shipped for my 3000+ from the same company a few months back. Ill probably get Venice 2 weeks after they come(initial price gourging for those who must have it NOW) then I hope the 3000+ Venice is below $200, would amd have any reason to charge more for Venice than winny? If the 3200+ Venice is $199 or less ill get that instead of the 3000+ Forget the 3500+ as for San diago the 3700+ is probably gonna be around $399, ill wait till one of those drops below $249, by then amd will improve the yields so I could be going from a 280x10 Venice to a 300x11 diago I expect 500MHz gain in two ways, diago uses the best silcon and also amd improves over time. As soon as Venice comes, I expect those to do 2.6 to 2.8GHz average with diago 200MHz better than venice(2.8-3.0) with my patriot 2x512mb I should get like 270x10 stable and with my gskill 2x256 I will go for 300x9 for benchmarks.

Venice will probably start from high-end chips and then dribble down to the lower-end when AMD's supply of Winchester cores empties.

 

[Overclocker550]

doesnt amds roadmap show 3000+ thru 3800+ venice comming at the same time? If not, and I wouldnt be supprised if that was the case, id just wait for the 3000+ or 3200+ Venice to come

Perhaps but current distributor listings show a Tier 1 distributor out of stock on 3000+ and 3200+s (winchesters)!!! They have stock of 3500+s though.

 

[Molester]

im waitin on the 4000+ san diego, and might possibly wait on the 4200, and if by chance, rumors turn to be true, might just wait for the Toledo FX w/ the dual core

 

[9mmCensor]

2600 sempron is why has me interested...

 

[OC Detective]

I do believe AEsnowboarding now realises that you can get 3200+s for under 200 bucks (hence his deleted post) lol.

 

[__The_OC__]

Exactly the sempron is the interesting part... i mean 90nm socket 754 at >$80 ??? what speed would that be? 1.5GHz ??? and would it clock to like 2,6GHz on a DFI 250gb like its big brothers winnies do on nf4 boards???
if thats for real im going to buy one for sure since im the budget guy but i really like AMD new architecture.

It was supposed to be a 1.6 GHz part with only 128 KB of cache but we think it's a 1.4 GHz part now (multiplier locked at 7) with 256 KB cache.

It won't be compatible with Windows 64 out next month if you care about that.
