It gets me really excited when I read these kinds of news from either of the CPU manufacturers. It only means we get faster processors at cheaper prices. That’s what healthy competition is all about — consumers mostly benefit from it all. Now, AMD has announced an almost across the board prices cuts on its Athlon and Opteron procs. Here’s the new pricing structure as indicated in AMD’s website:
|
Processor  |
Old price |
New price |
| Athlon 64 FX-74 | $799/pair | $599/pair |
| Athlon 64 FX-72 | $599/pair | $599/pair |
| Athlon 64 X2 6000+ | $241 | $178 |
| Athlon 64 X2 5600+ | $188 | $157 |
| Athlon 64 X2 5200+ | $178 | $136 |
| Athlon 64 X2 5000+ | $167 | $125 |
| Athlon 64 X2 4800+ | $136 | $115 |
| Athlon 64 X2 4400+ | $121 | $94 |
| Athlon 64 X2 4200+ | – | $83 |
| Athlon 64 X2 4000+ | $104 | $73 |
| Athlon X2 BE-2350 | $91 | $91 |
| Athlon X2 BE-2300 | $86 | $86 |
The price cuts have not yet been reflected on local stores but mu guess is that they’ll be updated by next month. I’d love to get my hands into one of those Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (3.0GHz, 125W, 2MB total dedicated L2 cache, 2000MHz HyperTransportâ„¢) or if budget will permit, a quad core FX-74.

were can i buy an AMD 64 FX-60 here in the philippines?
Jar says:
its just simple, AMD beats the shit out of INTEL. AMD makes better processor by their really advanced architecture. Intel is only upping raw power of their chips but not making them truly innovative to make them look powerful. thats why in most benchmarks they’re beaten be lesser powered AMD chips

dont buy AMD products, sayang lang money nyo… buy Intel products!
Miguel says:
Yes I read that the low end will be replaced by Athlon X2 “BE” series. But none of them in sight locally.
I also read in TipidPC that the local AMD distributor keeps the prices high!
Abe Olandres says:
Migs, they’ll drop the x2 3800 na daw. So we’ll be seeing more of the higher end X2s na.
Miguel says:
Looks like they’re keeping “Athlon X2” around as the low end, since they’re introducing the Phenom.
I guess it’s time to upgrade/replace my old PC’s which are dying piece and piece.
Fleeb says:
Athlon X2 6000+ was the old FX-62 (?) – sabi sa Anandtech. Before, it was priced at around 50k, now you can buy it at
