Looks like yet another gauntlet has been thrown down in the war between AMD and Intel. Across the board there are dramatic price drops on AMD X2 CPU's, with the X2 6000+ 3Ghz Dual Core tipping in as cheap as $229, and the low end X2 3600+ veritable pocket change at $73. Clock-per-dollar it's really AMD's ball game at the moment, so let's see now Intel reacts over the coming weeks. TG Daily reports....

A dual-core processor for $73? Not a problem over at AMD. The company has published yet another dramatic top-to-bottom price cut for its desktop processor line-up, which now tops out at just $241 for a 3 GHz dual-core chip in the high-end mainstream segment.

Average retail prices for AMD’s desktop dual-core processors have been sliding downhill for several weeks in an increasingly competitive environment in which AMD tries to maintain its market share and Intel can control key segments of the market with a superior processor architecture. The price cuts AMD published today not only follow that trend but show take the battle between the companies to a new level: AMD’s high-end mainstream processor X2 6000+ undercuts the price of its most comparable Intel counterpart E6600 by nearly 24%.
