The sources indicated that AMD will cut the prices for four models in its Athlon 64 single-core CPU series by 20-30% in mid June. On July 24, AMD will reduce the prices for its Athlon 64x2 dual-core CPUs by 25-50%, and its low-end single-core Sempron series will see a 10-15% cut in prices, according to the sources.
Intel is expected to offer significant price reductions for its Celeron, Pentium 4 and Pentium D series when it launches its desktop Core2 Duo (Conroe) processors next month.
