GOOD GOD! Can you say price cuts?

AMD Athlon X2 4800+ = $289 & 3 day free shipping

I mean seriously... What an incredible deal. Imagine if you were a sucker and bought that CPU like 6 months ago for like $800. Wouldn't you kick yourself in the nuts?

I know someone who should,

Wait til he sees this.

if you buy the 4600+ you get a free money clip

E6300 > 4800+ when not overclocking

E6300 > FX-62 when overclocking


So $189 > $290 when not overclocking and $189 > $890 when overclocking.

I think AMD might be getting ready for something...

Well actually E6300 is pretty close to FX-62 even at stock. Its Dual Core with 2MB L2 Cache and it does super pi in 29 seconds. Fx-62 is 28?

The e6300 is STILL faster even if the 4800X2 is cheaper.

^ Your are correct, but I figured making such a bold statement that AMD's top-of-the-line $890 processor performed about the same as Intels bottom end $189 processor would just stur up too much and result in some unnecessary fanboyism.

 

[bum]

Blah blah blah, unless you're in serious need of a new computer who cares about conroe?

**** forgot what I was actually going to say... oh yeah opterons had some cuts, but they're staying up there even with the new ones out (socket f and am2). Everything bombed awhile ago, but I'll admit I just about **** myself when I saw that.

 

[The General]

Yeah, spend more for less performance. Who needs that much processor power anyway?

 

[Trotter]

If I had the money I'd buy one.

Conroe may be faster, but I'm not ready to invest in a new CPU, AND a new motherboard, AND all-new RAM. That point is a coupl of years (or more) down the road.

It is nice to see sweet prices for those of us who sren't made of money, though.
