AMD readies price cuts, new chips

“Reliable sources said that AMD will respond to pricing by Intel by dropping prices, dropping some chips and introducing some new Opterons on February the 14th next.

AMD will do this by introducing the Opteron 252 and 852, a 2.5GHz processor, at the current 250 prices, and racking down the lower CPUs by one price level.

This will mean that the 140, 240 and 840 become end of line models.”
