*How much does AMD Athlon™ II X2 250 processor cost? How does the price/performance compare to competitors?*

With AMD Athlon™ II X2 250 CPU (3.0GHz), users pay less for more, period. The 250 processor is available for the AMD SSBP of $87. From a price/performance level they also provide over 30% greater performance in Windows Movie Maker over the Intel Core 2 Duo E5400 (2.7GHz) priced at $89.99* (According to Newegg.com as of 5/26/09). AMD believes people don’t just associate value per cores; they also associate value at price point and performance. By bringing the right technology to market at the right time and right price to satisfy customer needs, and the needs of the channel partners that are reaching a broad customer base, AMD intends to price these AMD Athlon™ II processors competitively to offer users superior value.
