Intel tweaks CPU prices

Intel's new price list came into effect yesterday - there are cuts on middle-rank desktop P4s and Celerons, and Xeon and Pentium III-S server chips. All prices are for 1,000-tray quantities.

  • P4 1.6GHz now $133 (-18%)
  • P4 1.7GHz now $166 (-16%)
  • P4 1.8GHz now $199(-14%)
  • P4 1.9GHz now $241 (-12%

  • Celeron 1.GHz now $69 (-7%)
  • Celeron 1.1GHz now $79 (-11%)
  • Celeron 1.2Ghz now $89 (-14%)
  • Celeron 1.3GHz now $103 (-13%)

  • Xeon 1.7Ghz with 256k cache now $224 (-13%)
  • Xeon 2GHz with 256K cache now $396 (-13%)

  • Pentium III-S 1.13GHz now $170 (-16%)
  • Pentium III-S 1.16GHz now $202 (-16%)
As for Johnny Punter - cheaper CPUs will not translate to cheaper system prices, as the cuts are not great enough to compensate for the recent price rises for DRAM.
