AMD further cuts prices on its processors

[Edburg]

This price war between Intel and AMD is getting exciting everyday.......for us consumers

Current July 9
6000+ $229 $169
5600+ $179 $149
5200+ $169 $129
4800+ $129 $109
4400+ $115 $89
4200+ $102 $79
4000+ $99 $69

This is freaking awesome....if 4000+ is about Rs.3000,then 3600+must be somewhere around Rs.2200 i guess.....this is great

This is opposed to intels own price cuts on july 22

A C2D Conroe 6600 still beats out the 6000+ X2 marginally .. But considering the latter is just around 7k, it might be a good budget buy after-all.

And between all these processor launches and price cuts to have a good laugh look at the following link........

The link is about a year old...before C2D launch.....but i had quite a great laugh
