Do you think AMD Pricing structure would collapse upon conroe release?

[pxc]

Athlon 64 3000 - $89
Athlon 64 3200 - $99
Athlon 64 3500 - $109

Those 3 have pretty small price drops. Pricewatch currently has the 3000 for $101, 3200 for $120 and 3500 for $148. Only the 3500 appears on the May 23 price list and the other 2 are probably being discontinued anyways. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_609,00.html?redir=CPT301

, swap the dollar signs with euro signs and that's exactly what they're going for here

I would hope so. The X2's are too damn expensive.

Conroe will, RAM will not. There will not be enough Conroes to flood the market and drive up the demand of RAM=P

I can honestly say I don't really care. I'm way more interested in what video card technology is coming as I don't think there's much software making full use of my x2 3800, let alone whatever else is coming down the pipe in the next year or two.

you obviously don't use quad SLI

Guys AMD is in a transition With AM2 this gives them more headroom to improve on. AMD already stated that AM2 as it is now will not gain great performances and at best only see 5% or so. future chips however will differ with AM2 as it will scale up much better.

however I do see that AMD will need to lower there prices to stay completive. Also AMD is still the king on power usage/proformance and in the server market this can be a very big issue.

Please explain the intricate thinking process which led you to this conclusion.
