The
Inquirer reports that AMD is planning more price cuts ahead according to its
channel partners. AMD will cut the price of some of AM2 Athlon 64 X2s on August
13th. Athlon 64 X2 4000+, the 4200+ and the X2 4400+ will all have their prices
cut. Earlier on Aug 6th, AMD has released dual-core Opteron 8222, 2222, 1222 at
3GHz/95W and Opteron 8224 SE, 2224 SE at 3.2GHz/119W and cut some of the older
Opteron models prices. The Inquirer doesn't reveal the extent of the upcoming
cuts, but they could help AMD counter Intel's purported plan to bring down the
price of the Pentium E2140 to $64 later this month.
