Weekly CPU Prices - Week of Oct 28, 2001

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, use this link to take you to the page where we describe 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."

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

I might have likened this week's changes on AMD processor prices to a rollercoaster ride if the ups and downs weren't so small. The only signficant price drops were on the fastest MP processors and the only significant increase was on the price of the 1.4GHz/200 Athlon, which now costs $23 more than its 1.4GHz AthlonXP 1600+ counterpart. Overall, it's been another steady week for Athlon pricing.
