PII300 for $1999 news.com Is this a margin squeezer? This past July, the 300-MHz Pentium II was selling for $1,900 in volume through wholesale, nearly the price of the entire system offered by Computer City. Some price cuts, including some of Intel's price actions, have occurred as a deliberate attempt to preserve market share, but some discounting has been a way to get rid of excess inventory. Memory manufacturers all year have been saddled with large inventories, despite high demand for their parts. High inventories likewise have driven the price of hard drives to $99. Some analysts believe that Pentium II price cuts have occurred because of lower-than-expected demand for the new chip--though Intel maintains otherwise.
