Intels unannounced price cuts.

Posted 09/08/99 4:32pm by Mike Magee

Intel to announce fresh Pentium III price
cuts in two weeks' time

Chip giant Intel cannot be happy that its little rival AMD is having such a
good news day worldwide.

But if you think Chipzilla is gonna sit back and let the situation ride, you've
all got another think coming.

The company has just notified its distributors and dealers that it will cut its
prices again on 22 August next on Pentium III and "selected" Pentium II
chips.

The move is unscheduled and will put further pressure on AMD.

In the email, Intel said: "With this price move, Intel is delivering higher
performance and better value in the performance desktop market
segment." ®

re: "I suspect that the few faster CPUs(over 600 MHz) Intel will make by Sept may well all be shipped to Dell and gateway as a QPQ for loyalty."

If true, it will serve strongly to reinforce the already negative feelings that exist at IBM, COMPAQ, and other customers that resent iNTEL's would be role as "kINGMAKER".
