Intel Drops Prices
For those that would like to see AMD out of business, here's some news - if you didn't figure it out already, because of them Intel doesn't send its prices sky high! In fact, although they may have lost the performance crown, AMD's aggressive pricing policy is helping all those Intel buyers get cheaper processors. Anyway, I don't want to start a war between Intel and AMD fans again. The good news today is about Intel's prices, so let's see the numbers, shall we?
Intel announced price cuts for 14 different processors currently in its portfolio, but the Q6700, Q6600, E6850 and E4600 went down the most, some even as low as 50 percent! Is this insane, or what?
Just check the following - Core 2 Quad Q6700 (2.66GHz) went down 50 percent, from $530 to $266; same thing goes for the quad-core Xeon X3230 (2.66GHz) - from $530 to $266; the Celeron 430 (1.8GHz) - a 23 percent from $44 to $34, and the dual-core Celeron E1200 (1.6GHz), falling 19 percent from $53 to $43.
Considering the above, I guess AMD is soon going to give away processors, maybe even pay us to take them, and Intel will follow close behind! Anyway, big thanks should go to both companies for making such small prices possible. Thank you, Intel, for lowering prices, and thank you very much, AMD, for forcing them to do so!
