Intel getting ready to launch four sub $150 desktop processors
 

LOOKING FOR A cheap Intel processor? Well, Intel is getting ready to launch a range of new affordable options over the next few months, as well as some price drops on several other models. A few more expensive parts will also make an appearance, with emphasis on 'few'. Most of the new and price cut models are oddly enough LGA 775 processors, so it seems like Intel believes there’s still some life in its old platform.

Let’s start with the higher-end models. The Core i5 760 is set to launch tomorrow according to HKEPC who’s kindly compiled all the data. The launch price for this 2.8GHz quad core CPU is set to be $205 which is a mere $9 than the Core i5 750. On the 29th of August we’ll see a price drop for the Core i7 950 from $562 to a much more affordable $294. Apart from that it looks like Intel doesn’t have much planned between now and mid-October for this market segment.
