AMD drops quad-core Phenom processor pricing
By
AMD has reduced the price of its quad-core Phenom II X4 940 and 920 CPUs from US$275 and US$235 to US$225 and US$195 in thousand-unit tray quantities, respectively. Right now Newegg is one of the only retailers selling the Phenom II 940 at $235 with no tax and free shipping, so if you aren’t waiting on the Phenom II AM3 parts to come out next month you might as well jump on one of these. .
In addition to reducing the price of current CPUs, AMD also plans to launch the Phenom II X4 950 in the second quarter with a core frequency of 3.1GHz. AMD commented that the price drop provides consumers products with a better price/performance ratio.
