We've had confirmation of the price cuts Intel is making on prices of its Pentium 4 processors today.
The biggest price drop in the Pentium 4 family is the 2.20GHz/512K chip, which falls by 25 per cent to $423 from $562. The $562 remains the price of the 2.40GHz/512K Pentium 4.
The 2.0A drops 22 per cent from $364 to $284, the 2GHz/256 from $342 to $262 (23%), and the 1.90GHz P4 drops seven per cent to $225 from $241.
Intel has however taken the axe to its 1.20GHz Pentium III desktop chip, which falls 32 per cent from $241 to $163, while its other Tualatin Pentium III, the 1.13A with 256K, drops 12 per cent to $153 from $173. These chips are now proving somewhat hard to find.
Other price cuts Intel makes today are on its LV/ULV mobile Intel Pentium III-M: the 866/512 drops 24 per cent to $241, which is also the price of the 850/512 – meaning the latter is on its way out. The 800/512 drops 18 per cent to $198 from $241.
