Intel Price Cuts to Start on April 22nd

Intel plans to unveil significant price cuts on their current fleet of processors as they prepare to go to battle in the quad-core market. On April 22, Intel is slated to announce a 40 percent price cut on its current quad-core processors and significant drop on Core 2 Duos. As previously reported here, Intel plans price cuts on its Core 2 Duo E6300, E6400, E6420, E6000 and E6700 processors, and the reducaions will range from 20 percent on the low end to 40 percent on the high end. There's also a 40 percent reduction planned for the Q6600 processor. However, Intel's mobile Core Duo processors will be unaffected by the April 22 price drop and the company will continue to sell entry mainstream Core Duo processors like the T2300 for more than $200.

Woot so my hope of having the best single dx10 card out may have been uncrushed! I'll need a quadcore (Q6600 = $600Can) with an 2900xtx2 (prob $1000):D even more than my whole current rig without taxes:P guess I could settle for a e6700.. should power the best dx10 cards.

agree ;i trust amd but if they don't make something fast intel will be the winner;

ref your quest. best bang for the $ is p965 board;cheap and good;i've made 2 sys. for friends with ASUS P5B (3-4 versions) and core 4300 (oc like hell and can run like 6600 in term of perf.) sooner or later i'll had to change also
 
they're cutting prices 'cause AMD will launch they very cheap quads soon aka (x2 1900 quad for a low price)
 
whatever makes consumers happy :rolleyes:
 
They are matching AMDs price cuts on their old technology and trying to gear up for Barcelona. IF Intel is this worried, maybe Barcelona is indeed awesome.

By old, I mean, AMDs K8
