Now that Conroe is on our doorstep (minus a decent mainboard) how long before AMD are forced to reduce their prices further? I mean as UrbanFox has pointed out numberous times, Conroe > everything else... AMD's FX-62 gets steamrollered in most approved benchmarks when compared to a Core 2 Duo chip one third its price.
Seems a little silly that AMD expect to keep business booming with such a price
erformance difference. Plus this merger with ATI has cost them a $2+ billion loan and may still yet fall through (still in negotiations with shareholders afaik?)
Main reason I wanna know this is because I know how conroe pisses all over the 939 chips but I cba buyin a new system where I could just wait a month or two and buy a knock-down priced fx-60.
