AMD has cut its desktop CPU prices following Intel's second round of Pentium 4 price reductions yesterday.
AMD sliced between 24.5 and 47.7 per cent - most of them in the 38.4 per cent and up band - off the prices of Athlons and Durons.
The new Athlon prices, according to German Web site Chips.de - we're still awaiting confirmation from AMD UK - are:
| Price | Reduction | |
| 1.33GHz (133MHz FSB) | $183 | 47.7 |
| 1.3 GHz (100MHz FSB) | $173 | 45.6 |
| 1.2GHz (133MHz FSB) | $158 | 46.3 |
| 1.2 GHz (100MHz FSB) | $156 | 41.8 |
| 1.1GHz (133MHz FSB) | $158 | 40.4 |
| 1.1 GHz (100MHz FSB) | $141 | 41.5 |
| 1 GHz (133MHz FSB) | $138 | 38.4 |
| 950 MHz (100MHz FSB) | $123 | 32.41 |
| 900 MHz (100MHz FSB) | $100 | 41.9 |
And for Durons:
| Price | Reduction | |
| 900MHz | $79 | 38.8 |
| 850MHz | $65 | 41.4 |
| 800MHz | $53 | 41.1 |
| 750MHz | $40 | 24.5 |
An Intel spokesman last week confirmed that the P4 line's prices would be cut yesterday. The 1.7GHz P4 was launched last Monday at $352.
| Price | Reduction | |
| 1.5GHz | $256 | 50.7 |
| 1.4GHz | $193 | 48.5 |
| 1.3GHz | $193 | 28 |
