Is AMD lowering prices soon ?

[CorCentral]

Just wondering because I read somewhere that March 5th is the date when they lower all AMD CPU prices .

Anyone know ?

I read an article about that too. Not sure the extent of the price drop, but the article I read made note of that fact that they are lowering the prices the day after Intel

Anyone else have the lowdown ?

I've heard from a local shop that they, and most of the places on pricewatch, have already taken into account the effective AMD price cuts. The current low prices are already reflecting the anticipated drop.

I can confirm that AMD will announce a price drop on March 5th. However, I don't have any info regarding which specific chips or the amounts involved.

I read a few weeks ago on March 5th, the will announce the 1.3gig Tbird and lower prices by 10% average over the family.

Interesting. Just to add more fuel, PC Progress has had a cpu pricing change on at least some of the Athlon's. I ordered a 1.2 ghz 266FSb about a week ago for $294. It was backordered - still waiting. Checked today and the price is now $254. I'll be calling em Monday for the new price.

I believe they have already dropped quite alot. The 1.2ghz was $275 about a week and a half ago. Now it is $236 on price watch. Man that is unbelievable.
