AMD Slashed 64-bit Microprocessors Prices.

AMD Shuffles CPU Pricing Before Sempron Launch

[07/27/2004 03:15 PM]
by Anton Shilov

Advanced Micro Devices this week starts to sell its microprocessors according to its new pricelist. The company continues to penetrate the market with 64-bit chips offering them at more affordable price-points, at the same time increasing the pricing of its 32-bit processors before the launch of AMD Sempron chips.

All AMD Athlon 64 processors decreased from 2.8% to 30.9% in pricing. Currently AMD has two 64-bit chips priced below $200, which is likely to move the microprocessors into mainstream computers, solidifying AMD’s market shares.

But in a rather surprising move AMD boosted the pricing of its Athlon 64 FX-53 chip, for the second time since late May, now for $827, which means that AMD’s high-end “FX-53” part increased pricing for $94 since late-March when it was first introduced. Additionally, AMD boosted the pricing on some Athlon XP chips in order to distinguish market position between the Athlon and the soon-to-be-released Sempron.

I would love to see NF4 and FX-55 soon. Planning to buy as soon as they come, and not before. I think the AMD64 might be making itself the main chip for gamers and enthusiasts in 2004 and probably 2005 as well.

Quite impressed, now please bring me NF4 with pci-3 and FX-55 :)

The pricing shown for XP's is actually for XP-M's (DTR's) the pricing for Semprons is cheaper.

The 3100+ is $126
2800+ is $109
2600+ is $85
2500+ is $74
2400+ is $61

Edit actually not even DTR's! I am not sure where these prices for the XP's come from. The AMD site has no XP2700+ listed in its price list.

Sweet, now AMD jot the right idea. All that has to be done is for the price of >3500+ chips to go down another 50% and everything will be great!

another interesting point in the price revision not shown here is that the DTRs and mobiles for the A64's have not changed much in price - therefore the premium between these and the desktop counterparts is much bigger. e.g. DTR 3400+ is $417 Desktop 3400+ is now $288.

i had major problems when i started building,i asked experts who were unable to solve my crashes!,i decided myself that my psu could be being taxed.i opted for a higher wattage and solved most of my problems,i am trying at the moment to build a rig for the forseable future which is short i know!expert opinion is vague and does not blow my skirt up!,amd/intel,which m/board /processor?,come on i am relying on you guys!,i know advancement is a daily thing but i am drowning here,i want to spend my hard earned cash on the future and not on drainage,i had a biostar m/board with 3000+cpu/650watt psu and my games played just fine,the m/board just died one day and i was advised to get an asus k8,since that day i started going backwards,it is a slower world!,my games are still stable but its on the edge,the biostar was given a bad name by everyone but in my book it was way underated,i long for those days when i could forget crashes,i am told the gigabyte is world class and i am considering the top range with amd`s top lump,am i going to regret it?peter
