Tabula Rasa: Six Boards for the Pentium 4 tomshardware.com Intel tries everything to push Pentium 4. If you take a glance at current price lists for OEMs - an Intel Pentium 4 1.3GHz bundled with 128 MB rambus memory and a CPU fan costs a mere $272 plus tax when ordered in bulk. Although this price won't be passed on to retail vendors too soon, it might be worth thinking about this CPU again. So, this is the Frank Frank Völkel article that showed up in German a few weeks ago. Probably toned down a bit at the good Dr's request. But this time, checking in on pricewatch, I see that something like Voekel's $272 deal for P4+128mb drdram + fan is actually available. It's something like $360/370 vs. $272, but it's certainly possible that Intel is giving the OEMs a $272 package deal. Pricewatch shows the cheapest pc800 64mb rdram at $67, and P4 fans are supposed to cost $30 or so, so Intel may actually be selling the super-sized P4 for $100 or so. On price/performance, I assume a ghz Athlon on a kt133a board w/PC133 is probably at least equivalent performance and still considerably cheaper, but this bears watching.
