Well they have too, but the reality is nothing/nonews about any recent price cut, I still see the same old price on AMD cpu ,there is no reason to buy AMD right now if anyone is looking for price/performance. Sandy bridge has make buying almost all AMD CPU pointless. They even threaten 1156/1366 socket too. Only the highest end gulftowns are still ahead of Sandy, but thats way more expensive.
if check the benchmark in sites like tomshardware/anandtech 2600K is beating the faster amd cpu 1100T almost every single benchmark, no offence but I wouldnt want you to get cheated by AMD, the 1090T should not be selling @ those price anymore. Base on the performance/watt AMD need at least 30-50% price cut on almost all their CPU. On mobo side the different between the same spec amd and Intel mobo can go as low as 250 bucks or less. We are not even talking about overclock sandy bridge yet.

price cut wont be happening overnight, it will happen only when AMD's inventory piling up in the warehouse and there are no demand for their stuff. I do agree on AMD phenom II x6 performance, it is power hungry and the arch already passed its 2nd year birthday which is inferior to Intel's old Core2Duo arch. the price however, AMD couldnt afford to lower that much as it is an expensive piece of silicon to produce, they are mainly targetting X6 for enterprise and AMD users who prefer to upgrade their CPU instead of a whole platform which saves some $ in some sense.
