AMD to cut Sempron prices in August
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has informed motherboard makers that the unit price (for 1000 unit lots) for its Sempron CPUs will be adjusted downward in early August, with Sempron 2500+ prices dropping more than $7, according to sources in the motherboard industry. AMD also plans to launch a dual-core Athlon 64 X2 processor on August 1 priced at $345, a third less than its current lowest priced dual-core CPU, the sources indicated.
Socket-A Sempron 2500+ prices are expected to be cut from $67 at present to less than $60 in early August, sources at motherboard makers mentioned. The price gap between AMD Sempron 2500+ CPUs and Intel Celeron D 325 CPUs will expand from $6 currently to more than $10 after the upcoming price-cuts planned by the two chip vendors.
Intel plans to lower the prices of its Celeron D processors 5.4-13.5 per cent on July 24.
AMD will also launch the Athlon 64 X2 3800+, which will be the cheapest dual-core processor in its Athlon 64 X2 line, according to sources at motherboard makers. The unit price of the 3800+ will be $345, as compared to $537 for the 4200+, AMD's current entry-level dual-core part.
