AS WE SUGGESTED yesterday, AMD is making a pre-emptive strike against Intel on the desktop pricing front.

This page at Akiba PC Hotline gives an indication of the changes out there in Akihabara, Tokyo, in pictures as well as Japanese words.

The text says that the 3700+ dropped by around ¥24,000 and currently stands at ¥58,700 (~$530).

There are other price drops on a number of different CPUs.

As the text says, you wouldn't be wrong thinking that AMD is trying to shift people away from the old lamps and onto new ones. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
