AMD quietly trimmed the prices of a handful of bottom-of-the-line Athlon XP processors this week, presumably in a bid to match the cuts Intel made to Celeron desktop prices at the weekend.
The Athlon XPs granted price cuts this time round were the 2600+, 2500+, 2400+ 2200+ and 2100+. All other XP prices saw no change. The five prices changed were reduced by only small percentages, between two and ten per cent.

| 2600+ | $103 | $93 | -9.7% |
| 2500+ | $89 | $87 | -2% |
| 2400+ | $84 | $81 | -4% |
| 2200+ | $74 | $71 | -4% |
| 2100+ | $74 | $69 | -7% |
