Massive price cuts on 1MB AMD dual core CPUs yay!

conzy

Looks like im going dual core in August

I thought you already had dual core

conzy

Nope, good ol' single core

Its at 3ghz which makes up for the lack of a second core

Come to think of it, would anyone be interested in a S939 3700 that does 3ghz @1.47 vcore on air?

Say €165

Ehh, no.

I just bougth a 3700 and i think i will stay with it. If i get as good as clock as your self i will def be very happy with it. Maybe if your doing lots of incoding and working on 2 things at ones it be cool to have the dual core. But im only into games and the 3700 suits my needs.

Yeah - I thought it wasn't going to happen until Monday but Komplett dropped the prices on Friday (much have known it was my birthday!?). There was a reasonable bit of stock there too - it didn't last long - got in my order anyway

AMD are doing well out of me this weather, its the second x2 3800 I've bought this year (albeit the second being half the price of the first) and a 3500+. Most of my hot and noisy socket A gear has been retired

me too :-) that 4400 x2 gotta drop soon !!

DirkVoodoo

The 2MB cores are still very expensive! You can get an AM2 X2 5000+ for half the price of the s939 X2 4800!!:eek:

Why dont you take the plunge conzy and go for a conroe system? Surely you could get a nice price for the rig you have there?

P.S.Thx for the help with my rig, tis running like a dream! Tried some light overclocking but to no avail.

*** Cough Conroe *** Those prices are amazing!! i think the time has come to ditch the p4 prescott once and for all!!

conzy

^ That time came a long time ago:p

lol it has served me well if i had the money i would have changed along time ago :rolleyes:

gizmo

While we're on the subject of the price drops, anyone reckon its worth changing my FX-53 for a S939 4800+ or 4400+ X2 in a few months?

conzy

Yes^

But the FX-53 is s940 isnt it?

You will have to go s939 or AM2

gizmo

Nope, FX-53 was a S939 part although I think it was S940 at some point too. Either way I have mine sitting in an Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe.

Nukem

My old 3500+ is three sheets to the wind *sob*
All i need now is my VAT number and im running up a high bill:D. To go conroe or AMD ? *mmmmmmm*

timeout

I went onto Komplett today looking for some good AM2 prices to buy and all I see is temporarilly out of stock everywhere, even on the Conroes

Guess I'll have to wait a week or 2 to pick up that great deal

dazberry

Last Thursday x2 3800 - 299.96(ish)
Last Friday - x2 3800 - 165.01

Yeah i noticed that. Only prob is that now i have a 3000+ chip thats worth even less now then 2 weeks back. Im sure lots of other people in the same boat. You might get €50 would u think for it ?

TomCo

X2 5000+ for €299 anyone?

Cuddlesworth

Lol looks like Intel are not aking the performance/price crown any time soon. Still getting a Conroe to put under phase though. As well as 3 X2 3800+s.

One question though. Since they dont make 939 parts anymore is this going to raise the cost of second hand 939 dual cores above recommended retail price?

CombatCow

Im tempted by these two:


Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz Socket LGA775, 4MB, BOXED w/fan €325.01

or

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz Socket AM2 1MB, BOXED w/fan €299.95


I dunno which one tho

Cuddlesworth

Core duo if you can get it.

Heart would say Amd head would say intel

CombatCow

hah yeah thats right .Im a bit concerned tho about how good the chipsets are, and also number of boards available for the intel cpu.The nForce boards have been great for me over the last while so they have a lot of pulling power for me to stay with them.

CC

po0k

Intel boards are thin on the ground from what I hear.

Pity, hoping to build me a media box / lan box / high-end firewall+NAS.

Nukem

Elara seem to have dropped their prices as well. Not as substantial as Komplett but they have stock

BadCharlie

I only bought a 3700+ at komplett last week for €135, this week you can get the same chip when they get it in stock for €110.
