»AMD Cuts Athlon X2 Pricing

AMD has cut the price of its desktop dual core CPU variants. <a href="http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_609,00.html">The 6000+ running at 3.0GHz is only $241</a>. Though, since AMD now owns ATI, I cannot support them fully anymore since they do not provide any open source drivers that run with any speed compared to other companies. Intel provides open specs and at least Nvidia provides proper binary drivers (though not open source).

nice price cut, but for teh similar price, I guess core 2 duo e6600 would be a better perofrmaner and choice.

In response to SAMSAMHA #36552
I agree with you. AMD needs to open up its API for ATI's graphics and make a new revision of their CPUs.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

not just that, amd really need to get their act up. They need to come up with Cool and Quiet driver for Vista (Smile). Also, I think they also need to come up something for not just cpu but also gpu. I know they got something palnned, but they are really not making too much news, except price cutsSmile.

What's nice about the price cut is that I guess you can get a fairly cheap dual core system setup for htpc probably under 200 with that priceWink

Still Intel is going to cut their price and have new cpu (even somewhat cheap quad core), so i think amd pretty much need to have powerful quad core that's cheap in order to gain the momentum that it has on the k8.
