Good: AMD is now price/performance competitive with Intel, leading significantly in some cases, across the X2 line of products.

Also good: AMD has no hope of making any money at those price points. ;-)

This feels soooo 2002/03. Only question left: Can the 'hounds do another K8?

Its a nice win/win for the consumer. Intel will slash prices on April 22. Then the next battle will be in early Q3 it seems. Sweet times ahead!

Looks as if the price/performance equation is now pretty much what it was back in the Northwood-C/Barton days. However, this might not work out as well for AMD, since its competition will be the potent-looking Pentium E, rather than the laughably bad Northwood Celerons of old.

I'm sorry I'm not an economics major but is this even going to help them at all? How about instead of price cuts they just drop a new chip instead?

Too bad this is only AM2. Seems like with %40 of TR's readership still on s939 and only %6 on AM2, AMD should show a little love for the old socket and make some nice cheap chips for it.

Is AMD making a profit with these prices?

Doesn't the Athlon 64 FX-74 seem way overpriced? That new price implies $400 per processor, which is quite a bit more than the X2 6000.

These prices are ridiculous. Intel's really put the squeeze on them. For their sake, I hope Barcelona is all they say it is.

If they'd have slid the FX-70 down to $250 I'm sure that might have been at least tempting, lackluster QuadFX mobo scene not withstanding.

I may be jumping on that X2-3800 bandwagon again soon.
