RUMOR: Phenom pricing

Robert Hallock 5 Nov, 2007 at 2:21pm ET Article published in Tech

Coming to you straight out of ~~Sunnyvale~~ the EVIL RUMORPLEX comes word of Phenom pricing. The three models outed (2.2, 2.3 and 2.4GHz) clock in at less than $300 each.

I, for one, am pleased AMD decided not to go the Athlon 64 route and charge $11TYb USD per CPU. Thank you, Intel.

5 Nov 2007 ~ 2:29pm Leonardo AMD certainly won't sell many if they aren't priced low. Sure, there's a dedicated cadre of AMD fanboys who would pay high prices, just like the Dell Dudes did with the P4 Netburst junk a few years ago, but nostalgia doesn't go very far these days when excellent CPUs are available from Intel for very good prices. Things are very different now from three years ago. Overall, I think the consumer and business buyers as a whole are much more sophisticated.
