It's likely that they lowered the wholesale price of new stock over a month in advance of the announcement, when we started seeing prices dropping, resulting in many retailers lowering their prices on the processors to undercut the competition before any public pricing announcement had been made. Otherwise, it's a gimmick.AMD may have let major retailers know in advance that a price cut would be coming. Maybe this doesn't "kick in" until some future date? That's the only way I can see it as being valid.
So now, WITH the supposed AMD discount, it seems the "savings" is the same as what these have been selling for anyhow. And that was without any kind of extra AMD discount. I just bought two 3600x and a 3600 three weeks ago. I was already seeing prices that were LOWER than what you've listed in the article, for the last three weeks, WITHOUT any extra 25-50 dollar discount. Otherwise, it's a gimmick.ĭarkbreeze said:This makes no sense. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case because I'm not seeing anything different overall than what I have been seeing as much as three weeks ago to earlier today. Now, if they were to offer those discounts off the price these were actually selling for, that would be worthwhile and might temp me to pull the trigger on a 3700x which I have been eyeballing and had just mentioned in a forum conversation.
Because, I guess they figure we are all too dumb to realize what they are doing. It's the typical raise the price by forty bucks and then offer a thirty dollar off sale.
