5.75G vs 5.5G price

[fab10]

I heard that there are usually sales twice a year, is this one of them?

No, this sale is related to the bad economic conjuncture. Prices for the latest generation 5.75.x are temporarily the same price as for generation 5.5. Eventually they’ll go up to the full price but we do not know when yet. 

Also is it true that the old tech goes on sale before a new generation is released?

I am waiting for AM6 to be on sale...

I don’t know for sure how that works, probably @Benjamin knows best.
