AMD will launch a pricing campaign later this month, covering the full range of its product line, in head-to-head rivalry with Intel, which is expected to lower the prices for its processors in July, according to sources with motherboard makers.

After actively talking to motherboard makers in search of ways to counter Intel's price cuts, AMD has come up with a new pricing solution, despite tight production capacity and possible erosion of its profits, the sources said.

Nothing strange in that

They do not have nothing powerfull enough to crash Intel Core (until K8L arrives next year i guess)
So they drop prices for these year at their current sollutions to stay competive in the cost at least

Keeping a expensive and slower sollution from what the other side is offering is not wise
