Full Folding Ahead!

 
How fast are the S940 2xx's? Hate to sound n00bish but this looks like a good idea :p

Do you have info on how much? What was the before/after price on 939 Opteron 144/146/165/170? I looked at the pricing guide on their site, but like you said it didn't seem to be updated, and a quick browse around here didn't show any promising threads.

Humm, really? Where are the rumored price cuts that were supposed to take effect on Jan. 23? Actually, I noticed that the price on Opteron 175 increased from 15$ on that day. :mad:

Im referring to their hardware...and if they were to do the price cut being rumored it would be another good move...had nothing to do with earlier pricing.

Great news!

AMD shareholder
 
The Opteron 165 939 will rise from $295 to $325, the 170 from $384 to $394, the 175 from $490 to $504. But the Opteron 180 939 pin CPU will drop by a fairly large percentage - from $811 to $693.

This isn't the last of the price changes on Opterons, however, the processors not shown here will change in mid-February, although it's not clear yet in which direction.

On the Athlon X2 front, the 3800+ will drop from $322 to $295, the 4200+ from $400 to $355, the 4400+ from $497 to $458, and the 4800+ from $787 to $630. The FX55 will stay at $811, while the FX57 will drop from $1,011 to $811. The $1,011 chip will be the FX60. These are all dealer/distributor prices.

Several dealers say they have noticed prices for AMD CPUs rising already - but this appears to be unofficial pricing. Distributors are very tight on supply, but it seems that for the larger system integrators and corporate resellers, AMD is being kind and shipping products direct.

AMD declined to comment on future pricing plans. However, one of AMD's customers said the prices of the Opterons is rising because they want to stop enthusiasts buying them, and buy the consumer level chips instead.

There ya go.
 
Hmmmmm time to upgrade to 2x265s at the end of Febuary...maybe... I just wonder how reliable this info is.
 
I really hope this turns out to be accurate because I was planning on building a new pc in a few months, but I'm also worried about supply issues if I wait that long...
 
If the 939 opterons go way up i'll sell mine and just buy an X2.
I don't see why AMD just doesn't push more opterons into the market at a low price point, and just sell more volume. I think alot of people are interested in the chips now. Many more would be if at lower price points and were more available
