AMD raises Athlon 64 processor prices
AMD today unveiled Opteron price adjustments which relegate the 1xx CPUs’ presence on its public price list to mere ‘call for details’ status. Today also saw the debut of Opteron x56 two-way and four-way server chips and a slight price hike on thier Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 X2 processor lines.
The 256 and 856 come in at $851 and $1,514, respectively. While the addition of the 256 left the prices of the other 2xx series chips unchanged, the 856 pushed the already available 854 down to $1,165, a drop of 23.1 per cent. The 852’s price fell 25.1 per cent to $873. The 850 now costs $698, 20.1 per cent cheaper than before. The 848, 846 and 844 all remain at $698. AMD similarly pruned the prices of the 8xx HE chips, reducing the price of the 850 HE from $1,514 to $1,165 – a fall of 23.1 per cent. The 848 HE now costs $873, down 25.1 per cent from $1,165.
