And yes, AMD are reducing prices.
So.....it will take more than one CPU to make me change back.

471730 2006-07-18 22:10:00 The E6600 Conroe outperforms the AMD FX-62

NZ prices are:

E6600 - $650
FX-62 - $2000

(roughly based on pricespy)

Guess which one I would rather have ;)

471733 2006-07-19 00:28:00 Those prices are just so out of kilter with performance right now, its not funny. AMD has to do something straight away, or they will lose the progress they have made in the last 3 years SolMiester (139)
471734 2006-07-19 01:51:00 Heck yeah, they need about a 70% price chop (based on the FX-62, which is probably extremely overpriced. I would think on average they would have to chop back 50% or something)

Anyway, I will be sticking with my current AMD.... until I get enough for a big upgrade, bwhahaaaaw. Maybe I should go for the 'second revision' Conroe or something.
