AMD has adjusted prices for its desktop processors along with new 45 watt single-core CPUs in the manufacturer’s lineup.
The price reduction is less dramatic than the previous rounds, but drives the firm’s fastest desktop processors even deeper into the mainstream and entry-level segment, making room for the higher performing Phenom CPUs. AMD’s dual-core desktop processors, excluding the $599 Quad FX-74, include 14 different CPUs ranging from $68 for the Athlon 64 X2 4000+ to $220 for the X2 6400+ Black Edition. In comparison, Intel offers 22 dual- and quad-core processors from $74 to $530 (not including four Extreme Edition CPUs)
