- Aaack! These prices are outrageously high!
- Perhaps it was a January '92 catalog... that might explain a bit of the
- extra $.
-
- Figure a drop of 3% to 5% a month, on parts that are sold in
- competitive markets (like the '386).
-
- I'll throw out some August '92 prices below...
-
- | 68000 $6.95 <- wow very cheap considering
-
- Sounds reasonable. $3 to $15, depending on speed and package.
-
- | 68020 $189.95
-
- Should be $20 to $100, depending on speed and package (PLCC vs PGA)
-
- | 80286-8Mhz $12.95
-
- ?
-
- | 80386-20Mhz $ 269.95
- | 80386-25Mhz $ 289.95
- | 80386-33Mhz $ 299.95
- | 80386-40Mhz $ 329.95 <- you are getting a hell of a deal on that board!
-
- These are currently available from $79 to $109 from many places.
- AMD has tried to underprice Intel, successfully. Great for consumers.
-
- | 80486-33Mhz $ 599.00
- | 80486-50Mhz $1199.00 <- Ack!
-
- My computer magazine here shows $400-$600 on the 486DX line,
- and $100-$150 on the 486SX. On the '486SX, Intel is trying
- to draw away '386 sales from AMD, by pricing the 486SX right around
- '386 prices.
