AMD readies 50% Opteron price cuts

CHIP FIRM Advanced Micro Devices (former proprietor: William Jeremiah Sanders III) is readying price cuts on a range of its server chips.

On June 4th, the firm will cut Opteron 100/1000 prices from between 10 to 50 per cent. It said it has "a strong value proposition against the competition and these new prices will enable you to offer your clients AMD based server solutions at competitive prices."

The firm has notified its distributors of the price changes, so if you are a reseller, you know who to call.

Probably Avnet or Ingram. Or both. µ
