AMD is planning for more price cuts for its notebook CPUs on October 23 following revised price cuts for its CPU offerings on July 24, according to sources at Taiwan-based PC makers, who noted that pricing of AMD's notebook-use Socket S1 Turion 64 X2 processors (35W) and Socket S1/754 Sempron series will be cut by 16-35%.
The planned price cuts for AMD notebook CPUs on October 23 only involves the single-core Socket 754 versions that supports DDR modules, whereas prices for the Socket AM2 and Socket S1 CPU lineups that support DDR2 will remain unchanged, the sources noted. The move is aimed to help clear out AMD's DDR-supporting products, the sources said.
AMD is expected to cut prices of its AM2-series processors by more than originally expected on July 24 with the largest cut approaching 60%. The vendor will also adjust prices for its notebook processors on July 24, with those for Socket 754 Turion 64 and Socket 754 mobile Sempron series, the sources noted.
Prices of AMD's 35W-version Turion 64 will be reduced by up to 25.8%, the sources said, adding that the percentage drop in prices for its Turion 64 MT34-MT40 processors will range between 5.3% and 15.9%. AMD is expected to lower prices of the 65W-version Sempron series by up to 17.6%, according to the sources.
