AMD Trims Phenom Processor Prices
PrintPerhaps taking advantage of the recent Sandy Bridge chipset fiasco, AMD has gone and reduced the price of several Phenom processors by up to $30, depending on the chip, Fudzilla reports.
Starting with the quad-core processors, AMD shaved $10 from its Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition, 965 Black Edition, and 970 Black Edition parts. Six-core savings are a bit more significant, with the Phenom II X6 1055T dropping from $199 to $175, the 1090T from $235 to $205, and the 1100T from $265 to $239. The 1100T is AMD's flagship hexacore chip, which runs at 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo) and includes 6MB of L3 cache.

They didn't have to do that. Sandy Bridge won't be owning anything until they can get the proper parts out.

Aw, and I just got my 1090T in December.
Well, I'll look at it this way: I can get a proc for $205 that is very worth $235 or more. (But dont need to, because I already have it)
Although with Sandy Bridge set to stomp on AMD's hold on the price/performance ratio, maybe its not anymore....
