Perhaps the most interesting price reductions are on the Athlon 64 X2 dual core line. The memo claims the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ will fall from a processor-in-box (PIB) of $303 to $169. Single core Athlon 64 3800+ processors will fall from $290 all the way to $139 through special promotions. The AMD Athlon and Sempron Energy Efficient models do not show any price reduction.

News to me, thanks
We have been mulling over should we go with AMD or Intel for my next pc.
A price drop *after* we buy one (if we do) would've been upsetting so we'll wait 8)

Athlon 64 X2 3800+ will fall from a processor-in-box (PIB) of $303...

Single core Athlon 64 3800+ processors will fall from $290

$13 more for a dual-core version? No wonder they're revising their prices!
