Intel Pentium D 805 Available for $150

@ 2006/02/24
The highly-anticipated low-cost dual-core microprocessor from Intel Corp. is now available in the U.S. and Japan for the price well-below of $200, an anticipated price-point. While the new chip is not a performance champion, the product will still allow users to enjoy more robust multi-tasking.

Intel Pentium D processor 805 2.66GHz, uses 533MHz processor system bus and sports 2MB level-two cache (1MB per core). The processor was originally expected to become available in March, 2006, but the plans may have changed and the new central processing units (CPUs) are available for purchase even now.

AMD P/E (price to earning ratio) is rather high; too high for my liking. How much lower can Intel get? I'm afraid not much lower than where it is now. With 65nm process, Intel will make more on gross margin. At current price, Intel may have been buying most of shares back.

So, I am in bed now with Intel on stock. Hope for the best

There is the concern of mounting inventory for Intel.
