AMD has cut pricing of its single-core Athlon 64 and dual-core Athlon 64 X2 CPUs for desktop platforms and has added a new Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition to its lineup. The cuts range between 5-28%, according to figures from the company.
AMD has announced the price reductions in order to clear inventory in preparation for the upcoming launch of its Phenom CPUs, noted sources at motherboard makers.
However, with the transition to next-generation platforms to take place soon, the price reductions will not affect demand much in the fourth quarter. In addition with the ongoing parts shortages, shipments performance in the fourth quarter should hold level or slightly drop compared to last year, added the sources.
