Weekly CPU Pricing Guide

Weekly CPU Prices - Week of February 14, 2005

By SharkyExtreme.com Staff February 17, 2005

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 is the Weekly CPU Pricing Guide...

AMD Comments

This week's AMD price list definitely contains a few surprises, especially for those who have grown accustomed to the relatively stable CPU prices through 2005. With a number of significant drops, the largest of which is a whopping $214 cut to the price of the 2.2GHz Opteron 248, there will be plenty for bargain-hunters to get excited about. There were also significant price decreases at the Athlon 64 3700+ and 3800+ range, as well as large cuts throughout the Opteron line.
