Intel Cuts Prices

Intel has cut prices for most of their processor line:

Intel lowered the 2.4GHz processor price by 52 percent, from $400 to $193. It dropped the price of its 2.2GHz and 2.26GHz Pentium 4 chips by 20 percent, from $241 to $193 each. Meanwhile, the 2GHz Pentium 4 dropped 16 percent from $193 to $163, and the 1.8GHz went from $163 to $143.

Intel's Pentium 4-M chips also received price cuts of as much as 45 percent, likely making way for 2.2GHz and faster Pentium 4-M versions due later in the year.

The 2GHz Pentium 4-M was slashed by 45 percent, from $637 to $348, along with the 1.9GHz Pentium 4-M, which dropped 40 percent from $401 to $241. Intel also sliced the price of the 1.8GHz Pentium 4-M by 43 percent, from $348 to $198. The 1.7GHz Pentium 4-M dropped 29 percent from $241 to $171.

The largest Celeron price drop came on the 1.5GHz mobile Celeron. It was reduced by 44 percent from $170 to $96. Intel also cut prices on its relatively new 1.8GHz and 1.7GHz desktop Celeron chips. The 1.8GHz fell 19 percent from $103 to $83, while the 1.7GHz went from $83 to $69, a 17 percent price cut. Intel cut prices on various other Celeron chips by between 14 percent and 36 percent.


C|Net has more, along with server processor drops and AMD's current prices.
