AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processors Available For Those Willing To Pay

With AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processors now available and in stock for a couple weeks prices have yet to go down.  During launch the prices were said to be going for $537, $581, $803, and $1001 respectively. By looking at today's pricing they are still going for a premium on the open market place.

• AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ - $1040.00
• AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ - $868.68
• AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ - $648.91
• AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ - $588.99

In other news the Intel Dual Core Intel 820 comes in at a cool $259 and our review sample overclocked from 2.8GHz to 3.8GHz.  Although Intel's performance may be a tad slower than AMD's X2 processors they are going for half the price. Interesting how in just a few years AMD went from being the working mans processor to being the high dollar glass case CPU that many can't afford and Intel went the other direction. Just something to think about before everyone heads home from work for the day.
