Price cuts

This is from x-bit lab's site: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/#981697885

"...Well, what can we say here... It looks as if on 5 March all AMD processors will undergo another significant price reduction. As we have expected, AMD Athlon 900MHz and lower will be very soon discontinued. Athlon 1.3GHz is most likely to turn up in the end of February or on 5 March together with the price reduction. And Duron 900MHz will hardly appear before the Q2 starts. We dare suppose that the next price reduction will happen in April. Let us explain. Since the planned price drop will take place almost simultaneously with the similar action on Intel’s part (AMD – 5 March, Intel – 4 March), the next price reductions are also very likely to take place simultaneously (Intel is expected to carry out the next "event" on 15 April).
And now let’s compare the prices of the two companies. After the March price drop Pentium III 1GHz will cost $241 and Athlon 1GHz - $170. The same picture can be observed in all other cases: AMD CPUs will be much cheaper than the same products from Intel..."

these guys do a weekly article on CPU prices, and of course are covering price drops and roadmaps.

Simonac,

Please tell where the article is because I couldn't find it.
Hope you will.

I would rather you tell me if the price cut is coming soon or not than tell me on a certain weeks prices.

Not until Intel gets a stabel P IV will the prices for the other products go down.  If you go to Pricewatch you can see that some Intel CPUs are actually getting more expensive rather than declining.

The intel price cut is anticipated to be coming on March 4th, one day before AMD makes it's price cuts on March 5th.  If you read the article that 1175089 (same one I read hehe) posted you will see that it is only referenced there but intel does not like stuff like that leaking out so that may be the only reference you will find.

Where can I find article 1175089?

that article I was referring to is the one that is already posted by expert 1175089 if you check the third post down.  It is pulled from xbitlabs and he provides a link to it.  That's not the same place I read about it but looks like the same article.

If anybody else will find another refernce I would be grateful.

As an ancient PM of israel u should have enough mopney not to wait for price cuts he he
