Brutal price correction on AMD front
AMD has started a gigantic price reduction in connection with the third generation Core i7 processors and the upcoming “Trinity” APUs.
Llano APUs had an orphan cut of $ 10 to $ 30. With regard to the A8-3850, A6-3650, A4-3400 and A4-3300, the change can already be said to be really significant, which will obviously greatly improve the competitiveness of the processing units. For the A4-3400 and A4-3300, this was really necessary.
This made a slightly smaller correction on the FX line, but we still have no reason to complain. Here, the change was needed especially for the AMD FX-8150, as Intel is really seriously upset in the upper house.
AMD’s next-generation APU units will start in two weeks, so it’s understandable that you had to seriously start sweeping out inventories.
