Swimmer Posted June 25, 2006 CID Share Posted June 25, 2006 AMD is phasing out the 939 and 754 platfom, in favor of the AM2, processors by the end of July.. Meaning that there are going to be some good buys coming up in the next few months.. To simplify its production portfolio, AMD will stop producing a number of Socket AM2, 939 and 754 processors later this year, with the company not taking orders for the processors after June 28, according to industry sources. The Socket 939 Athlon 64 4000+ and 3700+ will be the first to be phased out, with orders for the models ending on June 28, while delivery will cease on July 2. Delivery for the other processors will cease at the end of the year. After the cuts the Athlon 64 4800+ and 3500+ will be the only remaining models in the Socket 939 series, the sources indicated.

RAINMAKA Posted June 25, 2006 CID Share Posted June 25, 2006 hopefully opteron prices will decrease too, would be nice to get a 148 or 165 but only had my 3700+ for a little month and have liked it ever since i got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted June 25, 2006 CID Share Posted June 25, 2006 opteron prices should not change at all - no single computer manufacturer uses these processors so they would not be affected - you can already buy an entry level 64bit processor for under 100 dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
