July 22 price cut confirmation and yet another price cut coming in September 2?

Somebody tell me, please, how would it make sense to cut prices TWICE in SIX WEEKS?
IIRC last price cut was in late April or early May, so the upcoming July 22 markdown makes sense - but another one only 5-6 weeks later?

PS: of course, if it's only about drying up any revenue AMD still enjoys then it makes sense - but it would still hurt their own (Intel) revenues too.
