survivin,

<amd official pricing
zdnet.com

This ZDnet story about AMD's price cuts is strange. It claims that AMD, in order to keep up the pressure on intc, has lowered prices today. The prices for the K6-2 400, 450, 475, 500 plus the K6-III 400 are $73, $93, $114,$167,and $173 respectively. PriceWatch has them listed as in stock for $41, $51, $80, $127 (only 2 vendors for the 500)and $98(!). Can someone explain this roughly 35-80% discrepancy? Seems a little out of touch.

There is a very simple explanation - AMD's official pricing has little meaning. The discounts to list on many products are too great to make much sense of actual ASPs compared to listed ASPs.
