Less than two weeks after their official launch AMD's newest processors, the Phenom II X4 920 and Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition, are already receiving price cuts.Several retailers including Newegg and ZipZoomFly slashed prices today, cutting $40 off the price of both CPUs. The Phenom II X4 920 is now selling for $195, down from its launch-price of $235. While the Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition is listed at $235, down from a $275 launch price.
Clearly AMD's is responding to Intel's price cuts announced earlier today, but you've got to wonder how long they can compete if they are already being forced to cut processors prices just weeks after their release.
One thing is for sure, these processor pricing wars are great for consumers. You can now get several power house chips at very reasonable prices.
*Update*
Newegg is also offering $15 off with coupon code "AMD1815" dropping the price of the X4 940 to $220 and the X4 920 to $180 with free shipping on both.
