Monarch Combos Reflect Upcoming AMD Price Cuts ~~ Major action in the new computer arena
HardOCP ^ | Tuesday July 18, 2006 | Kyle

Update: Monarch has contacted us and we will be updating this information with another post in a bit. Monarch explains they will have a lot of inventory on AM2 and 939 AMD processors for next week.

The rumors of the AMD price cuts have been batted around everywhere and we have verified that they are coming, but Monarch Computer is the first retailer we have seen put the prices in writing on this page. Keep in mind these prices reflect Combo Deal purchasing that will be shipped next week, and is not yet available on single AMD processor purchases. Undoubtedly the dual core 3800+ AM2 is one of the ones to keep your eye on at $149. Not shown in the picture below is a single 3800+ AM2 OEM processor for $109.00! You can contrast these prices with Intel’s new Core 2 Duo and Extreme pricing shown on this page.

Look at the 4600. They are going to charge more than double for the same chip in a box with a fan. Something does not sound right.

The Retail Boxes don't make any sense at all.


but the 5000+ X2 is less than what I paid for my 3800+ X2 less than a year ago....

Thats probably reflecting current inventory, and not OEM tray processors... that should be address by AMD and the retailer shortly..

yes, im not sure what I will do... I inspected my motherboard last night for bad capicators and such and it looks clean so... im not sure what im going to do... either get the 3800+ or 4200+ and overclock or get a E6600 + Motherboard + Ram... hmmmmmm I'll probably just go with the AMD 4200+ for awhile...
until the next chipset is out for the Conroes..
