P4 Price Cuts Pre-Planned.

realworldtech.com

"The publicized Intel price drops appear to have been scheduled in several months ago, rather than a panic move due to slow sales. Apparently the normal price drop in the middle of this month (a few percentage points off most PIII and P4 parts) will be followed by a larger P4 price drop in conjunction with the intro of the 1.7GHz part. This is actually fairly standard practice for a new speed grade introduction, as it takes the top pricing spot and the slower parts get pushed down the scale. What has caused the controversy is the alleged size of these price reductions - as much as 51%. Once again, rather than a panic move, the information crossing my desk is that Intel has been planning an aggressive April ramp of the P4 since late last year, and they are now preparing to execute that plan."
