Intel’s Dual-Core Chips to be Unveiled in Q2, Price Starts at $241

Intel Corp. reportedly plans to accelerate its dual-core desktop roadmap by introducing its highly-anticipated Intel Pentium 4 800-series processors in the second quarter of the year, according to a report from a web-site. Additionally, the company may have plans to offer affordable dual-core chips which price is projected to start at $241.

An article over AnandTech web-site claims the world’s largest chipmaker Intel Corp. will bring the dual-core desktop chips originally code-named Smithfield a quarter earlier than expected – in the second quarter of 2005 – which may give the chip giant a competitive advantage over the arch-rival Advanced Micro Devices, who is expected to bring out its dual-core desktop products only in the second half of 2005. Furthermore, Intel’s dual-core products are claimed to be relatively affordable: $241, $316 or $530 – depending on the speed-bin and model – for 820 (2.80GHz), 830 (3.00GHz) or 840 (3.20GHz) chips respectively.
