There a couple ways to do this. This one uses ROW_NUMBER. Just partition by Name and then order by what you want to put the values you want in the first position.

WITH cte 
     AS (SELECT Row_number() OVER (partition BY NAME ORDER BY date DESC) RN, 
                id, 
                name, 
                price, 
                date 
         FROM   table1) 
SELECT id, 
       name, 
       price, 
       date 
FROM   cte 
WHERE  rn = 1

Note you should probably add ID (partition BY NAME ORDER BY date DESC, ID DESC) in your actual query as a tie-breaker for date
