Weekly CPU Prices - Week of July 15, 2002

Welcome to the Sharky Extreme Weekly CPU Prices. This is a weekly update on CPU prices we find around the net.

We have several different tables to help you find what you are looking for, sorted by manufacturer; (AMD or Intel) sorted by price; tables showing only high-end or low-end CPUs, all to make your research and subsequent buying decision a bit easier. Use our handy "jump to" feature at the bottom of each page to quickly get where you need to go.

If you are new to this feature and are wondering just exactly how we get these prices, and how YOU can get them, the last page of this guide describes our search methods. Please note that most prices listed were found using PriceWatch and are only for phone orders, requiring that you call the vendors and tell them you found a specific price on PriceWatch or "on Sharky Extreme's Weekly CPU Price Guide, which uses PriceWatch." Also please note that prices change daily, while our guide is only updated weekly; so you will need to get an updated price.

So without further ado here are your CPU Prices...

AMD CPU Prices

AMD Comments

With only one price drop of more than $2 on any AMD processor, it's hard to get too excited about this week's guide. And with DDR-SDRAM memory prices having mostly gone up, this might be a tough week for anyone who'd been planning his/her dream Athlon XP system. But those just looking for a CPU upgrade need not be too discouraged, as only a single AMD processor (Athlon 1.4 GHz) has gone up in price... most have just held steady.
