AMD has announced four new CPUs and cut down the prices of their older CPUs.  The four new CPUs include the Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition 125W, Phenom X3 8750 Black Edition 95W, Athlon X2 6500 Black Edition 95W and Athlon X2 5050e 45W. The Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition costs US$186, US$139 for Phenom X3 8750. US$105 for Athlon X2 6500 and Athlon X2 5050e costs US$90.

 "This is a strong price move, indicating AMD's commitment to the channel, especially smaller system integrators," said Raj Suman, Euro product marketing director. "The market is soft right now but this has repositioned AMD well. The main battleground between AMD and Intel is the $135-$180 band." - HEXUS.
