AMD’s response to Intel’s recent price drop didn’t keep us waiting for long. The table below contains all the CPU prices for 1,000-unit quantities, which were set on 5 March:

CPUCoreFSBNew Price
AMD Athlon (Desktop)1.2GHz266MHz$294
1.2GHz200MHz$268
1.133GHz266MHz$265
1.1GHz200MHz$241
1GHz266MHz$224
1GHz200MHz$204
950MHz200MHz$182
900MHz200MHz$172
AMD Duron (Desktop)850MHz-$120
800MHz-$90
750MHz-$72
AMD Duron (Mobile)700MHz-$123
600MHz-$75

In fact, the current situation with the "official" prices is almost unchanged: AMD desktop CPUs keep costing less than the competing products from Intel. Besides, you should also bear in mind that the real retail prices on AMD processors are always lower than the "official" ones, while by Intel the things stand as they actually should: the retail prices are higher than the wholesale ones.
As for the AMD mobile processors, they are just formal competitors to Intel’s solutions, because their power consumption is too high for most notebooks.
