AMD Quietly Slashes Desktop Processor Prices
 

Cheap AMD CPUs get even more affordable:

"The price slash vary from 3% to 45% with the majority of offerings losing from 8% to 20%. Obviously, AMD’s main concern at the moment is the success of the Athlon 64 X2 family of dual-core processors, thus, the price of the high-end models is reduced quite aggressively. For instance, the Athlon 64 X2 5600+ can now be acquired for $326 (in 1000-unit quantities) after losing 35% of the price, whereas the model 5400+ now costs $267 after facing price reduction of about 45%.
