CPU Worldnotes that AMD has cut the pricing of eleven of its Phenom II and FX series processors. The cuts range from 1.9 percent to 14.8 percent.

Overall, the prices were slashed by 2% - 15% for Phenom CPUs, and by 6% - 9% for FX chips. The parts, discounted the most in absolute terms, are FX-8120, and Phenom II X4 965, 975, and 980. They have got $20 cheaper. AMD FX-6100 had modest $10 price drop, however let's not forget that this is the second drop since processor's introduction last October.
