Difference in Price 4400 Dual core and 4600 Dual core

leewheatley · 08-11-2006, 11:16 PM

It may sound a silly question but why, on a lot of sites is the
4600 dual core cheaper than the 4200 dual core.?

I am about to purchase a new processor and I am a bit confused on this as to the price difference.

For example ebuyer,

AMD Athlon 64 (ADA4600BVBOX) X2 4600+ socket 939 Dual Core 2.4Ghz 512kb and 512kb Cache is £165

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 Dual-Core (Socket 939) OEM £180

Why the difference in price I understand the 4200 is OEM but anything else I am missing?

The OEM could be a big deal.

That is quite interesting. Maybe it is because they have dropped the price on the X2 4600+ and not the X2 4400+.
