Processors get a price cut

Darius Chang  |  Oct 25, 2006

Both major chip manufacturers--AMD and Intel--are slashing their processor prices, which may lead to cheaper desktops and notebooks during the holiday season.

The TL-60, a dual-core Turion chip for thin notebooks that runs at 2GHz, dropped 26 percent, from US$354 to US$263. The TL-56, which is a similar chip that runs at 1.8GHz, dropped from US$263 to US$220. The TL-52, which runs at 1.6GHz, fell from US$220 to US$184. On desktops, the Athlon 64 FX-62, a 2.8GHz monster chip for gamers, plummeted from US$827 to US$713. Click here for more of AMD's updated prices.

Intel cuts, on the other hand, were on the Celeron line. The Celeron D 360 for desktops plunged from US$84 to US$69 while the Celeron 326, the cheapest chip Intel makes, went down from US$39 to US$34.
