DigiTimes says that AMD's recent price cuts have surprised motherboard makers but the main concern of these companies is AMD's production ability. The news items also talks of quad-core price cuts from Intel soon too. Intel plans to drop its quad-core processor, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 (launched on January 7, 2007) from US$851 to US$530 for 1000 unit trays in the second quarter of 2007, a drop close to 37%, which should impact prices and shipments of quad-core processors in third quarter, according to motherboard makers. On the other hand, AMD's quad-core processors, the Athlon 64 FX70 to FX74 range, will remain priced between US$599 and US$999 meaning AMD will face pressure trying to compete with Intel in the quad-core sector, added the sources.
