X2 Price Drops?
- Thread starter RameY
- Start date
Is this the price cut or just a stop-gap price cut until the real one?
thats absoultely sick lol, i payed 323 for mine!!!!Gibbo said:Hi there
The Athlon 4000's are now £89 +VAT at OcUK.
OcUK does have far lower prices on X2's than the competition and prices will drop further at the end of the month on both socket 939 and AM2.

Me too, I just hope it isn't all hype and does happen

Your my insurance policy then
i want quad core now dam it
so if Core Duo 2 is out for the 14th July, i would say after the 1st week of them been out, AMD will get a look at its performance and sales and then price the chips to reflect that.
just me running of thinking again. Way to high to be up this late with work at 6am

My main concern is stock level. I'm on S939 and I've no intention of buying a new motherboard, memory and CPU. I have this unpleasant vision of major price cuts occuring when I'm at work and all the S939 X2 stock being sold by the time I get home.

Don't worry, I doubt every retailer in the UK is going to run out of cut price X2's whilst your at work fella.Angilion said:
Doubt they'll last long, but we should be ok for a few days.
So what date are we looking at here? july/august?
*special request* Can someone who knows this date and spends a lot of time on here be so kind to add me to msn (in trust) so i can up to speed when the price drop hits, i have waited nearly 2 years for an AMD system, the time has come and i would not like to miss this !
Edit = someone mentioned 14th july and somebody else said 28-9th july.. im confused!

The 14th is, according to a very unreliable source, the ending of the NDA. At that point, reviewers can build their own Core 2 systems, run their own benchmarks and report the results as they please. It's been a very slack NDA though, if there has been one at all, so I doubt if it will make much difference. The site may even have been typo'ing for the 24th.Booner! said:So what date are we looking at here? july/august?

The 24th was the original launch date.
The 27th, 28th, 29th are currently rumoured launch dates. No-one is saying why the launch date would be moved back just a few days.
