X2 Price Cuts

AMD has announced the release of the Athlon X2 3800+ at a price of $354 for a tray of 1000. This is great news for the AMD crowd, being that all benchmarks put the X2 far ahead of the Pentium D. AMD seems to be aiming to take some of the low-cost dual core business away from Intel's Pentium D 820, and in doing so flexing its performance muscles. Intel better do something, they are still behind AMD technology wise, and things don't look to be changing.
