RE: Lower-priced Athlon 64 X2 coming

It's needed too. We absolutely need the low end Athlon X2 to be cheaper than the high end Pentium D. That price crossover would end most of the price complaints.

Of course personally I'll wait for the waterfall pricing to bring the 4200+ down to the <$300 level before I consider buying one, but that's just because the 3000-3500 single core parts will stay cheaper than any X2 part for a long time. It's when the X2 price gets down far enough to make me not look at the single cores at all that I'll actually jump on an X2.
