AMD is on the warpath!!!

29 February 2000, 12:32

Check out this article about AMD's recent price cuts:

http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/ne...kpt=zdhpnews01

A 29% price cut on Athlon 800's was annouced. Looks like they are dumping chips to get ready for a new product announcement. That or they are having incredible yeilds on the Athlon 800's.

AMD announced today that they will be releasing the 900, 950, and 1GHz CPU's by the end of the month. Probably has something to do with that.

Expect Intel to "pre-announce" something shortly.
