AMD’s crazy-good prices are now permanent.
If you’re wondering why AMD’s being so nice to you, don’t. This probably isn’t a desperate bid to clear inventory. More likely it’s part of AMD’s plan to pressure Intel to match its rival’s performance value. That’s great news for consumers (if not for Intel).
