It looks like AMD is trying real hard to get rid of the 0.13micron processors that are still in stock, because they are selling them at considerably lower prices now.
According to our colleagues from the German Planet3DNow.de web-site, starting March 7 AMD is giving their wholesalers special low prices for Athlon 64 4000+ and Athlon 64 3800+ . Of course, the discount should depend on the quantity and total shipment cost. This fact, as well as the first engineering samples of the new Athlon 64 4200+ processors on San Diego core that have recently appeared in the market prove that the new 0.09micron generation from AMD is to arrive next quarter already.
We shouldn’t also forget about the recent incident with the Venice based CPUs from AMD, which have been mentioned on the price lists of a few Swiss on-line stores. Despite the disclaimers posted by some German web-sites, these offers are not disappearing, but keep growing in number. Luckily, today we have finally got the chance to shed some light onto the actual shipment schedule for the notorious San Diego and Venice based CPUs.
