Intel to cut up to 60 per cent off P4 prices theregister.co.uk Meanwhile, Mike Magee's old rag one-ups everybody, in the headline department anyway. Next Sunday, sources say, Intel will cut the price of the 1.5GHz P4 to $519 and the 1.4GHz part to $375. The latter is as anticipated (see yesterday's report, Price cuts pave way for 23 April 1.7GHz P4 launch), but the P4 price is lower than the expected $562. On 23 April, the 1.7GHz P4 will launch at $701, down from the $776 we expected from the roadmap. Less than a week later, on 29 April, its price will be cut to $361, just above the C-Tech price, and a wee bit after the site reckoned the cut would come. At the same time, the 1.5GHz part will fall to $256 and the 1.4GHz P4 to $193. In other words, P4s will enter May between 60 per cent and 42 per cent cheaper than they are now. Slashing prices by 50% a week after intro seems a little bizarre. So far, pricewatch hasn't shown any movement on P4 prices. We'll see, the P4 has always been more about FUD and marketing than anything else anyway, so a little intrigue here is hardly unexpected.
