AMD Slashes Prices

First of all, I currently own two PC's. One is Athlon powered at 1GHz, and one is Intel at 1GHz also. I am not posting to brag, read on...First of all, I mixed and matched components in both and I have to say that if you want raw processing power... go for intel. But if you want incredible performance and stability in the newest games, go for an athlon. Intel still comes out on top when it comes to servers and such in my book, but athlon wipes the floor with intel when it comes to the games! (This is my opinion based on personal experience)- Kibbles

Yeah Yeah, First of all Athlon Kicks ***!! Intel PIII is just a joke when comparing to a Thunderbird Athlon.. Double the speed and divide the cost to half. That is really whats different between the two processors. I had a PIII 600 and upgraded to an Athlon 800 the difference is amazing.

Another one!!! Don't tell me P4 gonna kick ***, cuz its already f***ed up!! Without the P4 optimized software itz a ship that ran aground. If yo gonna compare P4 to AMD wait for the upcoming "ClawHammer and SledgeHammer" CPU's from AMD which are also gonna have 128 bit "core". And guess what unlike P4 theyll be backwards compatible with your pre-loved software.. Heheheheheh Intel will be really f***ed then!!!

Timmy!!!Timmy:AMD=Timmy!!! :)Pentium= :(TImmy!!

pentium III is so much better than real like that, amd not better 4 AMD THUNDERBIRD. straight up, its games

i used to be an intel person until realised you could get a 1.2 Ghz athalon for $20 less than a PIII 933.FOR F**K's SAKE WAKE UP INTEL

how does intel stay in the lead when their prices are rip offs and performance is less???plz xplain

ahh the bad old days when intel=perforaceandAmd=PricenowIntel=Rip off for crazy ignorant bastardsAmd=Performance & Price

Dude, anyone out there thats looking for a PC, Buy one w/ AMD. Trust Me.

AMD suck's thats why they cheapthe cpu dose not perform well as intelAMD chips do not last as long under highhigh end use like game's.

AMD Is the Raining God no matter what anyone says AMD will bring the death of intel they are too ld a company to compete with the power perfromace price of AMD, Intels Futer is Sealed AMD Will Take the Cpu world market by sorm intel will be as crappy as win 98 They Just Can't Hope to Compete, Die Intel!!!!!!!

The text was good, but i stil cant find the play ipdates. looking for it dude.

A heap of wheat, says the Song of Songsbut I've never seen wheat in a pile :)did you like it?

Nice one, but what about der weg ? anywya, congrats from me.

AMD rocks, but will these price changes EVER touch australia? or are we going to still be paying up to and including a $1000 for a Ghz in our system specs?

I love my athalon 550 but if the prices are this low just how fast of a processor can i put in my old board? I checked out there web site and couldn't find specs on any of the chips clocking in over 750. well maybe i will just have to look harder.

I have a AMD 600 Duron and it cost about £70 here in the UK and find that cheep. I just cant wait for this price slash cause ill then upgrade to a GHZ for a meer £150 (NOT BAD). I would just like to take this last sentence to say INTEL suck *** and AMD rule!!!

AMD SUCKS,AMD SUCKS,AMD SUCKS,AMD SUCKS,AMD SUCKS cause my system always hang when i upgrade my pentium 3 700 to amd athlon thunderbird 900.....Intel rules......

f**k Intel, with these prices I can get a 1.2GHz for mad *** cheap!

Woow thats cool, ive bought a duron 650 a month ago!! But when these Prices are real, ill buy me a Duron 800 at Christmas or so .....Counterstrike ROCKS DA WORLD

Hello i saw the prices for the AMD slashes Prices i will buy one processorAmd 700 Mhz Where can i buy the processor AMD 700 for this price 55$This is my Question i come from GermanyThanks

I live in The Netherland not every were You can buy AMD here i have got a 950 T-Bird and I love my litle birdy. AMD is expansieve here about $650 in dollars. But amd is the best

Im another Avid UK Gamer, I bought my 1gig TBird a while back and paid a hefty £400 (with Asus mobo, Heatsink and Fan) for it and quite frankly it wipes the floor with any Intel Chip that ive seen, and for all u little kids who think Intel is still the best even with their *ahem* "new" Pentium4 i suggest u run along to Toms Hardware.com and read the p3 vs p4 vs TBird tests..... then u can say you r sorry! =P

IID you are gay...p4 sucks *** and yes amd is killing intel now...only until they f**ked up on the p4 amd was not in the lead....now amd can pick up there pace and pass intel with the f**k up they did to themselves

Can you say, "bye bye Pentium?"

Hey is this for the processor or the whole motherboard? I have an AMD K6-3 and I wonder if a new processor would fit it. Where can I buy this at this price?

GO AMD! Man i hate pentium, they jump into **** WAAAAY to **** fast! In our college computer class we are comparing the 1.2Ghz T-Bird and the 1.5Ghz P4 and the T-Bird is outperforming it by a little bit. and the prices are for the Processor "BigPimpinNYC"The best place to go to get AMD and Pentium (as if you would want one) is pricewatch.com, they have all the street prices on everything! Peace Out!

Just want to say is intel tested there cpu the P3 and P4 the P3 beat the P4 =+).. just what u all to know that first..(u will know when u sign up for the intel new letter..) and the next thing when the f**k is celeron 2-3 coming out i want to overclock that baby =+).. ooooo yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa =+).. need more power hehe...

one more thing.. what the f**k u all talking about the price is mad low here already in NYC.. like the p3 933 $500 and the amd is already like in the $200 area. and the celeron is $70-190.. if u all what to know how to buy a cpu get the one with most cache and mhz in it.. if NOT GET RAM f**k THE CPU GET A 516MB RAM PC-166-200 and there u go a super fast computer =+)

hey, i live in australia and i'm just wondering if we'll get these prices as well as you americans.

What boards are out there that support the AMD 1.2GHZ and the new SDD Ram?

f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k inteL'z A$$. f**k u InTEl i WiSh Ya MoM f**keD Da CyRix. SuX My LaMiN A$$ inTeL Cuz AMD iS GohNa WooP Ya CyBeR A$$ MotHER f**keR!!!!!

I like AMD

Anyone know what is the cache for the Duron. And also is it better than a K6-2

f**k *******

i will ******* intel up and buy a amdyeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhmanmanjo manajsalfjlsfjafsfsssfsffssfsfsfsfdsfsfsfdsfsfdsfdffdfdffdffdfd

Just for fun how many u think a pIII 733 is?? in canada..is is aprox. 230...a amd is 105 !!!and it does opperationin one hzand the pIII does 6 !!!!! lol!!!! BUY ANAMD !!!

This is soo funny!All AMD needed was a little support, now they have enough cash to keep delveloping thier bigger and better chips. And AMD showing that they have enough mojo to lower thier prices, is truely c**ky!AMD T'Bird 1.2GHz ROCKS.....

Woe!!! Now I have no excuses to upgrade my machine often. :)This are some of the best sites to compare and buy your computer hardware in case you needed to know.[url removed] AMD! AMD!

By The Way... Here's The Main Reason Of Why I HATE Pentiums:!!!BUILT IN COOKIE INSIDE!!!Why The Hell Does Every Freaking Company Wants Personal User Information For? If They Want My Personal Information, They Better Pay Me A Good Amount Of Money For It, Each And Every Single Time It Is Being Used For Something, Darn Right. That's Why They Can Stick Their Built In Serial COokie Up You Know Where.

Who let Timmy write a post here ?I would also like to know where i could find these prices.

Hmmm....AMD = More Power for your $$$(see below)--------------------AMD 1.2 GHZ - $274Intel 933 MHZ - $299Intel 1 GHZ - $443--------------------AMD Duron 850 MHZ - $109AMD Duron 800 MHZ - $74Celeron 766 MHZ - $164Celeron 700 MHZ - $79---------------------all prices are correct as of 13/12/00source: [url removed]

"AMD sucks" - Dumbasswhat the hell kinda system holds both pentium and AMD chipsets...f**khead...2nd grade panzyit only locks up because the rocks you got on your ctrl alt and delete buttons havent been unglued....dumbass...

LOLCeleries lick my *** no matter what number you throw next to the namethe Durons take them out (192k cache) vs what... 2k cache on the new celereys?roflol....dont make me laugh..."hacker child"...

yep yep yep.that is in for each if you buy 1000 dirct from amdbut its a nice price.

Correction to Anonymous just under Zion:Thunderbirds and PIII's have 256K full-speed on-die L2 Cache.Durons have 64K Full-speed on-die L2 Cache.Celerons have 128K Full-speed on-die L2 Cache.Celerons whole problem is that its a severely crippled Pentium 2 core.Celeron Analogy: Take a Marathon runner, and break his leg. Now make him go run a marathon. Sure, he may finish, but 1) Hes not gonna look pretty doing it, and 2) Hes certainly not gonna break any speed records.Conclusion: Celerons suck.-Kao

IT IS ILLOGICAL TO SAY THAT ONE CHIP MAKER IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER WHEN THEY BOTH USE THE SAME PERAMETERS TO ACHIEVE THE SAME PERFORMANCE. IT IS LIKE SAYING I LIKE FRENCH'S MUSTURD OVER NAMEBRAND MUSTURD. TO ME THEY BOTH TASTE THE SAME.....OR DO THEY.......!#@$^%&*&^%^&&&&^%$%^^^%%^^.......I AM DAMAGED.
