INTEL price cut

[zuze]

When? I have been hearing news that it might be either in Aug 26-28 or Sept 30. Can anyone confirm that?

The talk was september 1st or around there...to be in conjunction with the release of the 2.8 and 2.66ghz p4's....

Also it apperas it has already begun...The 2.53ghz has aleady dropped 100 dollars since 2 weeks ago....The 2.53ghz should bottom out at 270 or so retail....with the 2.4ghz right around 200 and 2.26ghz close to that....1.8's will drop to those 1.6 prices of 3 months ago and ofcourse the 1.6's are gone...

Price cut, sounds good to me! I still can't believe the power we can get for the price now.........gotta love how prices are ALWAYS falling! No complaints here!

Not to start a flame war, and I love the power the P4 offers in video encoding, BUT seriously...

$200 for what AMD can provide for $100?

No thanks Except in my video encoding system...but I'm actually steering toward dual 1600+ for that.

When the 2.53 drops to $250 .... amd cant top that ... there flagshit Retail is $240 (2200+ 1.8GHz) ... and that with a i845G DDR333 cas2, there is no stoping that cheap insainly fast setup.

When Intel drops the 2.53 to $250 you'll see an Athlon 2400+ out for less.

Hmm, well this brings up Intel a few points in my book. Maybe they will be back with good value in my price range.

Waiting for the 2.26GHz to drop near the $200 mark.
