Offical AMD Price List
HKECP reports that on the day after the release of Conroe (Intel's Core 2 Duo for desktops) AMD will cut the dual core X2's prices 35% to 50%, Athlon 64's 20%-30% and Semprons 10%-15% to match Intel's prices:
Intel Prices on July 23
Core 2 Duo
AMD prices on July 24
Athlon X2
As it was Intel practically gave CPUs to Dell, and other like us and HP payed the difference. WE FINANCED DELL! Now Intel is going to a flat pricing list, we will all pay about the same. HP can now match Dell, and now Dell will sell AMD.
So don't go thinking Intel is loosing money with it's very low prices. It's just everybody getting the same price and Intel getting the same profit. AMD is paying the price. They may get some Dell sales, but at the cost of lowering prices to EVERYONE!

1M and 1Mx2 core are gone. Sandy and Toledo are dead, the first casualties of this war.
939 3000+ and 3200+ reach EOL
AMD to launch pricing campaign to counter Intel
Intel pricing has really hit AMD hard. As of now they are using 90nm on 200mm wafers at all but one FAB that is using 90nm on 300mm wafers. Add in the IMC and die size is limiting yields to a point they can not be price competitive. For now Intel is squeezing AMD with super low prices from it's high yield 65nm on 300mm wafer process with out the IMC taking up space. I'd expect to see Intel go with some sort of IMC with 45nm, as the die size will allow it profitably and Moorse's law may require it.
Now people are loosing their jobs. Around 1000 Intel managers will be giving severance packages. AMD caned all people that worked on Geode at their Colorado center. This war is getting personal--2000 people looking for new jobs.

The Inquirer said:...to maximize profits without impacting production to a great degree, AMD has felt it necessary to get rid of the lower margin desktop 1MB L2 cores. This change affects both Rev. E and Rev. F production, as all 1MB L2 cores will be allocated to the Opteron lines.
1M and 1Mx2 core are gone. Sandy and Toledo are dead, the first casualties of this war.
939 3000+ and 3200+ reach EOL
Low end 939 Athlon single cores are added to the casualties list.AMD said:Per customers' request to simplify the roadmap for these products, the Athlon 3000+ and 3200+ processors are going End of Life.
AMD to launch pricing campaign to counter Intel
Intel Tells Customers It Will Cut Prices by 60% to Gain ShareDigiTimes said:After actively talking to motherboard makers in search of ways to counter Intel's price cuts, AMD has come up with a new pricing solution, despite tight production capacity and possible erosion of its profits, the sources said.
Bloomberg said:Advanced Micro [devices] also told Gigabyte that it plans to cut prices, though not by as much as Intel...
...Intel's sales chief declined to comment...
"The idea of price competition or competition in general is new to the other guy,'' Advanced Micro's [devices] Meyer said of Intel. "Price competition doesn't scare us.''
