APU actually began to increase prices! Birth of Athlon II X4 651

In addition to the Opteron 6200/4200 series processors that released the bulldozer architecture, AMD recently adjusted the Fusion APU and FX series product lines. The prices have risen, some have fallen, and new models have emerged.

On the APU side, the dual-core A4-3300 and A4-3400 were originally priced at $64 and $69. They are now raised by two dollars and come to $66 and $71 respectively. Processor price reductions are common, but prices are not much, especially for AMD, which may mean that the sales of dual-core A4 APUs are very good.

The three-core A6-3500 has cut its price by 4 dollars, now it only costs 85 dollars.

The only six-core FX-6100 in the bulldozer is also priced at $10, currently marked as $155. The model is currently on the domestic market in large quantities and is one of the key models promoted by AMD.

The new model is the "Athlon II X4 651", another Llano APU that shields the GPU graphics core. Compared with the previous Athlon II X4 631 2.6GHz and 641 2.8GHz, the frequency is up to 3.0GHz. Change, or Socket FM1 package interface, four core, 4MB secondary cache, 100W thermal design power.

The Athlon II X4 651 is officially priced at $92, which is $13 more than the X4 631. Surprisingly, Athlon II X4 631, Athlon II X2 221, Sempron 198, and other similar products did not appear in AMD's open quotation, and may be more inclined to OEM.
