A company spokeswoman confirmed that the chips will cost about $560 each in thousand unit quantities. The chips are for use in high performance desktop personal computers.

On Friday, Intel (INTC: news, chart, profile) shares rose 27 cents to $30.68.

The latest P4 chips available next week will be made using 200mm wafers, but in a month the P4 2.4 GHz is expected to be made from 300mm wafers. Also, the chips are made using 0.13 micron technology.

The 300mm wafers combined with the processing technology at 0.13 microns results in lower costs and higher performance.

Since the P4's first quarter of full production, which came during the first-quarter of last year, Intel is currently shipping 10 times as many chips now as it did then.
