Weekly CPU Prices - Week of Jan 6, 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, 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...

We see a couple of nice $10 price drops on the 1.53GHz Athlon XP 1800+ and the 1.6GHz Athlon XP 1900+. But it's been an otherwise slow week for the AMD processor prices tracked in this guide, with most changing in price by a few dollars either way or holding steady. This week, furthermore, sees the addition of the 1.67GHz Athlon XP 2000+ to the chart, giving price trackers a new processor to watch.
