Roland00 :

Actually Amd price cut yesterday was in response to this preplanned intel cut.Intel always cuts prices in January as part of their tick/tock strategy. It helps gets rid of the old processors. The prices were announced a week agohttp://www.xtremesystems.org/forum [...] 4&t=214354And were supposed to take in effect for vendors on the 1/18 (though vendors may not pass the prices on too customers until they clear old inventory.)----Well AMD drop their prices of their new quads in response to stay competitive. This is great for the consumer but I worry for AMD profitability in this economy. I have a q6600 and want to get an i7 when they go to 32nm, but its good to have competition and my first computer was an AMD barcelona
