AMD drops Phenom II CPU prices
 

Starting with the budget model we have the Phenom II X4 840 which is a 3.2GHz quad core CPU with a 95W TDP making it the most power frugal quad core Phenom II CPU in the current line-up and at $105 it's also by far the cheapest. It's nearest sibling is the Phenom II X4 955 BE which has a 125W TDP and unlocked multiplier, but otherwise appears to be identical except for the fact that it's priced at $30 more than the 840, although this is a $10 price drop. We have a feeling that the 955 isn't long for this world, despite its unlocked multiplier advantage over the 840.

The 965 and 970 BE models have both had their pricing cut by $10 to $155 and $175 respectively and the fairly recently launched Phenom II X4 975 BE model is priced at $195. That takes us on to AMD's six core models where the Phenom II X6 1055T has dropped $14 down to $175. The 1065T is a new entry in AMD's price list and as expected it slots in between the 1055T and 1075T. As for the 1075T, it only receives a mere $4 drop in price.
