"AMD is continually assessing and adjusting its
pricing to best meet the needs of our customers
in the competitive environment. The following
price changes should be expected Q2 2006:
Effective April 10th, the desktop AMD Athlon 64
and AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors will have a
small price adjustment upwards, adding a few
dollars to the current prices of these products.
AMD is confident that these products will
continue to deliver outstanding price performance to the market.
AMD Athlon 64 FX is not impacted by these moves and will hold flat in price.
Effective May 15th, the AMD Sempron prices will
adjust downwards. The May 15th pricing will also
include socket AM2 pricing for many AMD Athlon
and AMD Sempron branded products in order to
provide guidance on product pricing prior to
launch. We believe that this full product
offering of socket AM2 products will drive a hard
and fast transition to the AM2 platform as well
as drive cost effective motherboard solutions. "
Apparently AMD is making hay while the sun shines
(before the new Intel chips come out.)
