The reason these are so cheap is because AMD has now ended all production on socket 939 processors. So they offered OcUK a deal we could not refuse on their remaining stock of 3700 and 4000 processors. We have now passed on this amazing deal to our customers.

Hi there

Remember this is the last of these processors now expect that in a months or so time stock will either not be available or prices will go silly high just like socket A processors did when they were no longer made............

Gibbo any idea if the X2 will drop in price soon too?

There is the possibility of a price drop in a months time. However there may be no stock left when it happens as AMD's inventry is running low and production is now ending. The move to AM2 is happening whether you like it or not.

So even though AMD are dropping prices means nothing as if there is no product then the same will happen as what happened with Socket A CPU's and prices will sky rocket possibly.

Gibbo anychance you could check the steppings for me on the 3700+ ADA3700BNBOX chips to see if is good overclocker ?

Or does anyone know already ?

My current one only goes upto 2.54 @ 1.45v & does not like going any higher even if i push it to 1.75v

We've got 100's of the damn things, they might or be the same batch but might not be. Whatever the case this is the last lot produced so no more again....

AMD to drop Athlon prices by up to 46%

"AMD is said to be preparing a broad range of deep price cuts in a bid to take the fight to Intel's next-generation architecture Core 2 processors, due to be released in the coming months. AMD will cut its prices by up to 46 per cent, it has been claimed.

Industry sources cited by DigiTimes reckon the cuts will come on 24 July. The reductions - of 0.5 per cent to 46.1 per cent; 36.7 per cent off on average - will come to all the Socket AM2 and some Socket 939 Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors and follow the aggressive pruning of Socket 939 and Socket 754 parts.

Some Socket AM2 chips will be dropped too, it seems. Out will go those with 2MB of L2 cache - 1MB per core - which would appear to confirm rumours that AMD plans to limit Athlon 64 X2 chips to 1MB of L2 (512KB per core). It is expected the upcoming Opteron 12xx, 22xx and 82xx lines will get 2MB of on-die cache.

Intel is also expected shortly to make big price reductions, knocking up to 60 per cent off the price of its current CPUs. The cuts are due on 23 July."

Its good to see OcUK to be the first to be actioning price drops already.
