• The TL-52, which runs at 1.6GHz, goes from $220 to $184.
• On the desktop side of things, the Athlon 64 FX-62, a 2.8GHz monster chip for gamers, declined from $827 to $713.

On the Intel side of things:

• The Celeron D 360 for desktops went from $84 to $69, an 18 percent decline.
• The Celeron 326,that being the absolute bottom line chip from Intel, went from $39 to $34.
