Earlier this week, Intel held its Spring Intel Developer Forums in Shenzhen, China and Cairo, Egypt. In addition to showing off its new Bensley server architecture, the chip maker announced the Core 2 Duo's (Conroe) ship date and a series of price cuts. More importantly, the same prices across its product lineup will be offered to all customers, not just the major PC makers such as Dell, HP, and Lenovo.

The price chopping will culminate on July 23, which will also be when the Conroe starts shipping. Here's a sample of Intel's new pricing structure. Keep in mind that prices are per processor in units of 1,000.

Pentium D 960: from US$530 to US$316

Pentium D 950: from US$316 to US$224

Pentium D 920: from US$209 to US$178

Pentium D 820: from US$209 to US$113

Pentium 4 661: from US$401 to US$183

Pentium 4 541: from US$218 to US$84

Celeron 346: from US$89 to US$69.

Conroe starts at $183(E6300 model), but i think ill get the E6600 for more cache and at least its runs the same speed as my current p4, though of course much higher performance. :woot:

more slides for other processors

Thank you for that. It was a good read for me. Is there any more information about Merom and its expected price as I'm very much interested in that. I'm not even sure if it is compatible with current Yonah boards though I have heard that it will be compatible. Is there also any news about the Intel Interchangeability Initiative?

Annnnd the E6300 will probably take the A64 3500+ for a ride to the junkyard and back, in terms of performance.

You cant really compare then, indeed Conroe is better...

Still, Intel won this fight, not even the AM2 can fight against the Conroes...

Still, AM2 are just 939 with DDR2, still 90nm...

AMD RevG should be realeased soon enough with 65nm and there is where the war will begin :p

(Soon = end of the year might be totally announced :p)

tomshardware has another benchmark of the core2 duo(conroe). Since the NDA is over we should be seeing more reviews soon.

anybody have any links of people who might be estimated AMD price cuts? i'm still going to stick with AMD for the rest of the year at least until quad-core cpus come out. I never buy technology the first time it comes out. I'm hoping that Conroe stomps X2 so AMD drops the price heavily on them so i can buy one lol.

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
