Different processors had different discounts. Plus, from country to country the price drops differ (if any drop at all).

It was nice of AMD to lower the prices, if only for a while, but I'm still holding of for Ryzen 2 (if it's any good...) or whatever Intel manage to squeeze out in the same time frame.

also holding off for Ryzen 2, it doesn't need to beat Intel for me just be reasonably comparable and not Intel.. they've milked the market long enough!

The 1600 to my recollection was their best seller, so I guess AMD was like "why bother with sales". They likely had too much stock of the other models anyway (particularly the 1800X).

Doesn't the current Ryzen fit that description?

The 1600 had a significant discount here, among the rest of Ryzen 5/7. Almost ordered one but decided to wait for gen 2.

Hopefully this pumped more sales at a lower margin to help the quarterly. Something isn't right with the company as a whole. The composite nasqaq is up 24% this year and AMD is down 35% from it's one year high (basically since Ryzen launch). That is a whole fleet of boats rising with the tide while AMD has water pouring into the 5th compartment. Mr. Andrews is concerned.

I'd point to their GPU department.

I was an early adopter so I had no reason to buy during the sales period, but the prices sure did look nice. I'll remember this when Zen 2 rolls around.

You're comparing two different metrics there - if you want to compare yearly then you have to do it for both (and AMD is slight up from a year ago). Also, as an AMD investor I don't have any concerns - the company is finally profitable and Zen is just getting started. Of course the GPU side isn't doing as well (but that's why I'm also an Nvidia investor 😉).

There were some very nice sale prices on the 8 core Ryzen CPUs in the past few weeks. I think the best I saw was a 1800X for $260.
