News Intel slashed its prices

[Tefra]

Intel has decided to cut its prices. This time around, their price cuts range from 10% to as much as 50%. Apparently, Intel is planning on getting rid of 65nm generation chips. Core 2 Duo E6850 (3.0 GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 4M of cache) dropped from $266 to $183, which is a 31% price drop.

Core 2 Quad Q6700 (2.66 GHz, 1066MHz FSB and 8M of cache) dropped by no less than %50, and you can buy it for $266, compared to previous pricing of $530. Core 2 Quad Q6600, running at 2.40GHz got a 16% cut, and now costs $224, compared to previous $266.

Quad Core Xeons also got some hefty cuts, so now you can buy a Quad Core Xeon X3230 (8M cache, 2.66GHz, 1066MHz FSB) for $266. Compared to previous $530, it's a great deal and a 50% price cut. Its little brother, Xeon 3220 (running at 2.40) is now 16% cheaper and costs $224 (previously $266).

Dual Core Xeon 3085 (4M cache, 3.0 GHz, 1333MHz FSB) is slashed by 29%, and now costs $188 (previously $266).

Of course, what kind of price cuts would they be if Celeron price-tags didn't follow, so now Celeron DualCore E1200 (512K cache, 1.60 GHz, 800MHz FSB) costs measly $43 (previously $53). Celeron 440 and 430 now cost $44 and $34 respectively, which is a 17% and 23% drop. Celeron 560 and 550 are now %20 cheaper and sold at $107 and $86 respectively.
