Weekly CPU Prices - Week of January 22, 2007

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

Well, after cautioning readers that last week's Athlon 64 FX-62 price drop might be reversed in the following week's guide, we're happy to report that it not only didn't go back up in price, it fell by another $10. And better yet, a handful of other the AMD CPU prices we track fell by modest-to-significant amounts, as well, with the biggest being a $53 drop in the price of the Opteron 285. Unfortunately, prices on the Athlon 64 X2 line moved up, highlighted by double-digit increases to the popular Athlon 64 X2 5000+ and 5200+ processors.
