Intel to cut prices on July 20th for Dual Cores

jmke · 7th July 2008, 12:31

We don’t know the exact numbers, but we've received a notice that Intel will pull in the price cuts from July 20 to August 10. The price cuts will affect both boxed and tray processors and we know that 45nm dual core models will be especially affected. Intel plans to cut the price of the E8500, E8400 and E7200 and probably a few more CPUs.

So what are they actually saying?

Intel are cutting prices on CPUs but we're not sure when.
Intel are cutting prices on CPUs but we're not sure which ones.
Intel are cutting prices on CPUs but we're not sure by how much.

Thanks Fudzilla, you've really cleared up that situation....

well, if you're in the market for a new dual core 45nm CPU, you ought to hold off for a few more weeks to see if the prices change a lot

Indeed but didn't we hear ages ago about this and that Intel were also dropping prices on quad cores and dropping various dual & quad core CPUs from the range?
The Fudzilla 'article' seems consistent with one of their usual 'slow news day' releases.
