Whoa, thanks for posting, I was just going to buy an Opteron 1214. I think I may just get a Sempron 2800+ to tide me over :)
EDIT: come to think of it, instead of blowing $50 on a Sempron, I'll spend the $95 for a X2 3600+ Brisbane - I can at least sell off the Brisbane for $50 when K10 comes out, skip over the April price cuts, be out less $ and have way better performance throughout the entire time!
Or I could just get the 1214 for $238 now (same as 6000+ later) and easily overclock it to 3.1-3.3, instead of the 6000+ 3.3-3.5.... argh, decisions decisions!
X2 6000 @ $238 is very nice..:)
Holy Crap!!!!!!!!
That is insane...

soon one will be able to set up a dual core Proc and Mobo for under $100 combined
holy crap... if i wouldn't have a s939 mobo i'd definately upgrade :[
Those deals have been on add at Frys for awhile.Quote:

this new prices are very good now i can make good rig to my sister :D
what kinda sucks though, is that the 6000 is gonna compete with the 6600 on price, which still puts it at a large disadvantage, when considering overclocking. stock performance, they trade blows, but even with a moderate oc its no contest. intel really has amd by the balls with the conroes...
Yeah, just that these are € instead of $, and net prices - add VAT, import tax,Quote:

:D
So sad it's almost funny...
X2 3800 - $72 -> € + 20% TAX
X2 3600 - $69 ->€ + 20% TAX
like FRANK M said...EUROPE SUX!
What's the date on the price cuts? Early April? April 30? I'm seriously looking at getting a 3600+ Brisbane because my mom's P4 1.5Ghz Willamette isn't cutting it for her e-mail anymore.
Hmm..nuts. JonnyGuru is saying 4/29 or 4/22 at the earliest. :(Quote:

He said me that will be the true price ;)
anyways,this is starting to get confusing for me...i'm not a hardware-guru like most of the XS-members and i only wanna buy a decent fast rig,but with all those announced price-cuts from Intel and AMD i really lost my way..
He said me :
Representatives of AMD to the ceBIT 2007 confirmed that AMD was going again to lower its prices in April.Quote:
Des représentants d'AMD au ceBIT 2007 ont confirmés qu'AMD allait de nouveau baisser ses prix en avril.
why such a fierce battle on april 22 to be exact? :DQuote:

If they do end up doing this - I have huge doubts - it will kill the company, that I can no longer deny.

X2 4000+ @ $100 sounds just perfect for cheap a HTPC
AMD clearing out the channel inventory for ? :D
The X2 6000 is a bargain at that price, especially for an AMD person.
i smell an X2 6000+ as my birthday present
why would it kill the company? yields on 65nm are getting better every month, die size is very small for k8.Quote:

I'll buy the saphire 690 mobo with a x2 3600 till the new k10 arrives, it provides oc'ed enough power for daily work and games.
you can do that already it's called ebay. the x2 with the motherboard and the RAM that I have has depreciated to the point that I'd be lucky to get a $100 for everything. I hate the fact that AMD killed S939.Quote:

too bad there probably won't be any changes in s939 cpu's (referring to Opterons since they have not received word of EOL's yet)
price war is already on in europe.
110Eur for 2Gigs of DDR2 PC6400 Value Ram. Wont get any cheaper maybe prices will even rise again.
About £95 in the Uk for Value PC6400 2GB
Pfffttt...we have 25% VAT/sales tax in Denmark. I'm the one who should be crying. :(
Stop whine, we got higher wages and actual more buying power in terms of electronics :DQuote:

You lucky Europeans, with your high taxes you get a lot of social freebies to benefit from.
Whereas us Americans get to "choose" what to do with our cash..like blow it away on computer parts, instead of things like free higher education, haha.
It's not anymore turbox997....i pay 22,1%from my wage for health insurance and still don't have services for free...so i need to take extra insurance...more and more :banana::banana::banana::banana: here. So not everything is bright and shinny.
Doesnt this make the price perf war lean in AMD's favor?According to toms charts its a huge jump forward.
:confused: wow :slobber: thats alot. Maybe it was good that my family left denmark 4 generations ago ,after all .Quote:

Are you thinking about the die shots when you say that?Quote:

So if were thinking die size Amd should be able to make money on them, althought by not much. I also think the 65nm process is using 300mm wafers:toast:

actually they are still with every single processor they sellQuote:

I also believe that Intel has a good chance of competing against Barcelona with Penryn, even if the Barcelona is better per clock, raw clock speed of Penryn will hold its own(as someone else as speculate before on here). So I still won't get a new platform from niether.
But in all honesty, I'm waiting for DDR3 support to come out and mature for both platforms, probably take another 2 years from now.
QFT, I believe straight up manufacturing processes may only run them around $30 per chip, speaking from low end to high end(disregarding extra caches).Quote:

because ultimately material wise, they are making a profit on the product, unlike say Sony's PS3 in which they sell the unit at a loss when speaking of pure material costs.(all debts and balance sheets aside)
actually that price per Chip was Circa 1970, these days it can be as cheap as $0.28 up to $940 Per DieQuote:

This looks very good. Just bought a Brisbane for $85. Haven't seen the max OC yet. 2.4 easy.

I think those single cores should take a further whacking.
Those prices are going to be so tempting...and yet with an AMD Athlon X4 1900 is calling at me from a distance X(
