90nm process

[hchoudhryn222]

Hi
I was wondering when AMD would be publishing it's first line of 90nm
processors so that there may be a chance for current processors to have a
price drop. Can there be a small or large price drop on 939 socket
processors during or by the end of August.

Hard to say, AMD really needs cash, if Intel doesn't make any huge price
cuts I wouldn't expect any from AMD anytime soon.

FWIW, the Athlon 64's seem to be going up in price, not down! ;p

If you are wanting cheaper, check www.mwave.com I checked a couple CPU's
off Ed's list, and they seemed to be cheaper than the cheapest he listed.
Not sure why, because Mwave deals on pricewatch. oh well

fwiw, those prices also included S&H, Retail and OEM, so it's a mixed
bag. ;p

Ah, that does make a difference. After S&H that does bring them onto your
list.
