Scumbria: The 750MHz Micron Duron w/DVD and 8x4x32 CDR/W for $800 is their top seller. If I look at Intel's roadmap from the Register a little, it looks like Intel is "rd"RAMMING" the 1.3 MHz P4 into the mass market by June. Granted at $267 the P4 is about $200 more than a 750 MHz Duron processor but I think that business users will have no qualms about spending $300 more for a P4 and 128 MB of RDRAM. Homeowners may be another story. I can safely say Samsung's price of $179 for 128 MB of PC800 RDRAM will come down more than the price of $61 for 128 MB of PC133 SDRAM. The only question I have will be what will be number of PC sales in next 2 quarters. My feeling is that unit volumes will flatten out or marginally decline. Again looking at INtel's pricing they must feel they can safely make more money on 1 P4 chip at $267 using 210 mm2 of silicon than overstuffing the channel with 2-3 Celeron or PIII chips utilizing that same 210 mm2 of silicon which would not generate any more revenue since they would only be worth $70-80 ASP. john Pentium 4 prices and speeds, January to June By: Mike Magee Posted: 20/12/2000 at 11:31 GMT We must have more pints of cider with our buddies. These are the prices and the form of the runners and riders in the Intel stable of desktop performance microprocessors between January and June. The 1.5GHz P4 costs $644 on 28 January, $637 on 4 March, $594 on 15 April, and $455 in June. The 1.4GHz Pentium 4 costs $440 on 28 January, $420 on 4 March, $375 on 15 April, $316 in June. The 1.3GHz Pentium 4 costs $410 on 28 January, $374 on 4 March, $318 on 15 April, and $265 in June. The 1.7GH Pentium 4 will cost $777 at its launch, probably in May, and will drop to $666 in June. The Pentium III 1.13GHz will cost $267 at its launch, probably in May. The Pentium III 1GHz will cost $265 on 28 January, $241 on 4 March, $225 on 15 April and then seems to do a mysterious vanishing act. All prices and roadmaps are subject to change without notice. The Register takes no responsibility for decisions Intel may or may not make. Mike Magee is not an investor in any semiconductor firm. Old news is only good for wrapping up fish and chips. ®
