    Intel, AMD Prepare Chip Price Cuts

    - Intel's high-end Pentium 4 models clocked at 3.00GHz - 3.60GHz shipping in either LGA775 or mPGA478 packaging will decrease pricing by about 18% - 35%, sources claimed. The Pentium 4 560 (3.60GHz) will cost $417 starting from the 23rd of August, whereas lower-speed versions, such as 3.40GHz, 3.20GHz and 3.00GHz will be priced at $278, $218 and $178 respectively. Intel's Celeron and Celeron D chips will also become more affordable by about 6.7% - 13.5%. AMD will also slash its prices by aggressive margin of up to about 30% - 35% to either match or beat the prices of competing Intel's products.

    ...makes me feel glad I use AMD. I got my 2400XP for a paltry $85 plus tax..

    - 2/3 the speed for less than 1/5 the price

    And my 2500 for about the same price. And I don't see much difference between it and the fastest P4's.
