Quad core processor prices just got really interesting don't they ? Earlier today we reported that Intel was lowering it's prices. Now AMD is doing the same, significantly I must add.

It's reported that AMD has responded to Intel's processor price cut by lowering the prices of its new Phenom II X4 processors by 20 percent. The Phenom II X4 940 now sells for $225 instead of $275 and the Phenom II X4 920 dropped from $235 to $195.

AMD doesn't want to confirm the price cut over the phone, but the German site says online shops are now selling the Phenom II X4 for less than yesterday.

If you have not done so, check out our Phenom II X4 920 and 940 review here.
