Instead of getting a reduction, a number of Pentiums have just discontinued, The E6300 , E7400 and Celeron E3200 has been killed off by the company, although the Celeron brand manages to keep alive.
It will be very exciting to see how AMD will answer to their rival movement. Will AMD cut down its prices and try to take over the competition?
