Intel cuts chip prices up to a third
By Bloomberg News
August 28, 2000, 2:35 p.m. PT

Intel said on its Web site that it cut prices on its products by as much as 34 percent after the chipmaker recently began shipping
some faster processors.

Intel updated the price list posted on the Web site last night, dropping the price of 933-MHz Pentium III Xeons used in server
computers to $558 from $719 each in volume purchases, after introducing a speedier, 1-GHz Xeon last week.

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker faces increasing competition from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which has
picked up sales this year as Intel hasn't been able to make enough high-performance chips to meet demand. AMD lowered
prices on its Athlon and Duron processors earlier this month because it has increased production.

The 1-GHz Pentium IIIs found in desktop computers will now cost $669, down from $990. A 1.13-GHz version came out last
month but was recalled today due to a circuitry glitch.

Among a list of cuts, Intel dropped the price of 933-MHz Pentium IIIs to $508 from $669, and 866-MHz chips to $358 from
$465. Celerons running at 700MHz now cost $138, down from $192. The 667-MHz chips were cut to $112 from $170, while
633-MHz chips are down to $93 from $138.

The price of 750-MHz Pentium IIIs for laptops was lowered to $401 from $562.
