AMD Cuts Prices on a Bunch of CPUs
AMD cut the price on both desktop and notebook Athlon64 CPUs. How far? How about as much as 34 percent in some cases. It's dropped prices on the Sempron as well, but who cares.

Unfortunately, AMD kept the price of its flagship desktop processor, the Athlon 64 FX-55, the same at $827. It did nip the price of its Athlon 64 4000+ chip by 12 percent to $643. The Athlon 64 3800+ and 3700+ processors were lowered by 34 percent and 30 percent, respectively, to $424 and $329.

Okay, if you're a Sempron phreak, the Sempron for desktops using Socket A motherboards--the same type of socket used by the company's older Athlon XP chip--were among those cut. The Sempron 2800+ for Socket A boards was clipped by 17 percent to $90. The Mobile Sempron 2800+ for full-size notebooks, meanwhile, dropped 19 percent to $87.
