The Athlon XP 2700+ processor is priced at ¥50800 ($420), while its lower speed brethren costs ¥42800 ($354). It seems that the novelties are a bit overpriced, since officially AMD sells such devices for $349 and $297 respectively in quantities starting from 1000 pieces.
Provided that the CPUs sold in Japan are not promotional samples or appeared there just in order to show that such chips exist in this world, we can expect the wide availability of Athlon XP 2600+ and 2700+ processors with 333MHz FSB in a couple of weeks time all around the world.
