CPU Soup

by Steve Gibson Mar 18, 2000 5:30pm CST tags: AMD
Looks like we can expect some pretty serious CPU price cuts with the release of thoe 1GHz chips a little while ago. AMD is going to be cutting prices on their 800mhz chip to cost approx 50% of the same clocked Intel chip according to ZDNet UK. This article over at TheRegister also talks about AMD's price plans.

The company's 800MHz Athlon chip will soon cost up to 50 percent less than an equivalent Pentium III chip processor. Reductions on other Athlon processors are also expected, according to the sources.

While on the CPU topic, here's a bit on Intel and laptops, and then another one about some upcoming CPU technology targetted at laptops.
