The yesterday's announcement of new processors socket AM3 brought some changes in AMD lists price , but they proved to be unexpected. First, the reductions of athlon II X2 250 (3.0 GHz) processor price did not occur.
In the second place, the processor phenom II X2 545 (3.0 GHz) did not get in the OEM- segment. Moreover, the processor phenom II X2 550 Black edition (3.1 GHz) became more expansive from $102 to $105! Obviously, this increase in some degree compensates the limited profitability of processor sales - it is made from the four core crystals with 6 mb cache in the third level. Most likely, Phenom II X2 545 did not appear in the retail sector for related reasons.


From AMD price list disappeared the four core Phenom II X4 810 (2.6 GHz) with the reduced to 4 mb volume in the third level, and also processors series phenom II X4 9x0 socket AM2+. The number of three core processors phenom II X3 7x0 socket AM3 was reduced to one model with the free multiplier. We note that Phenom II X4 905e (2.5 GHz) fell in price from $195 to $175, and Phenom X4 9650 (2.3 GHz) fell in price from $122 to $112.


From the price list AMD removed many processors phenom first generation socket AM2+. The processors athlon with one and two core socket AM2 and Socket AM2+ was also removed from AMD price list as the processors sempron socket AM2. Their place now occupies three processors athlon II X2 2xx socket AM3 and the only model sempron in analogous design concepts. The price Of sempron 140 is equal to $36.
