Introduction
First, we would like welcome you to the latest edition of our CPU price guide. Secondly, go ahead and check out the Real-Time Pricing Engine for much of your computer hardware purchases. We try to keep our RTPE database updated with the most current products, making most of your hardware needs easily accessible. With the RTPE, we are able to bring you the best unbiased prices on many specific pieces of hardware and line them up for comparison, making shopping around a breeze. Don't be afraid to give it a shot: http://labs.anandtech.com
Quickly, we are noticing that the CPU market has been quite stagnant overall. The dual-core 8xx and 9xx Intel processors have decreased a few measly dollars here and there, but nothing very impressive. It's practically the same case with the Athlon 64 and Pentium 4 single-core CPUs. Though, the Intel Celeron D CPUs are quite reasonably priced, many of which are at or just under $50, making them an excellent choice for home/office use.
On to the meat of our price guide, we'll start with the dual-core processors.

Since Intel has desired to give discounts on CPU's to OEM's so OEM's no longer offer AMD CPU's. So Intel can kiss my fat ***, I will no longer be buying PC's from a OEM. Replygrimmripper08 - Tuesday, January 08, 2008 - link

I definitely think the Opterons should be added and I would really like to see the CPU speeds (clock) added next to the processor model number. ReplyCalvinHobbes - Monday, February 27, 2006 - link
Oops, saw the opteron section. Replyhoppa - Wednesday, February 22, 2006 - link
When oh when will X2s come into an affordable price range. Replyaggie02 - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - link
What about the new Pentium D 806 ( dual core 2.66 ghz, 533fsb). Is this any good. Directron.com has it for $149.99 , which is pretty darn amazing for a dual core proc.Reply

oops, its 805, not 806 (the model number) Replyrrcn - Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - link
Thanks for the heads up! =)I spoke to our RTPE administrator and he has added it into the engine. It should start appearing in the pricing table shortly. Reply

That cheap-ass Pentium D 805 looks interesting. I'll have to look for some benchmarks. But there's a small error on your price guide; it shows the 805 as having FSB800, when it's actually 533. Replyrrcn - Wednesday, February 22, 2006 - link
Fixed! =) Reply
