AMD Slashes Processor Pricing

Chip firm AMD took an axe to its processor pricing over the weekend. AMD and arch rival Intel both blamed each other for tumbling revenues in last week’s earnings reports filed by the companies. But that hasn’t stopped AMD continuing to bullishly go after market share.

The firm has cut prices across its range of desktop processors. Its top-of-the-range Dual-Core Model 285 now costs PC makers $1,051 when they buy in the thousands. At the other end of the scale, a Sempron 2800+ (socket AM2 and 754) is now priced at just $47.
