Blow Hard Dan - Re: ". Where are those 2GHZ P4s Intel demonstrated last August? " Right here - and apparently wil be launched May 27 if you believe this article. xbitlabs.com More Details on Intel CPU Pricing! [8:54 pm] Rat We have already told you a bit about some impressively large price cuts planned by Intel in the nearest future. Today we’ve got some more info from one of our reliable sources. Here are more "shocking" details for you! CPU Core Frequency Pricing Now 15 April 29 April 27 May 15 July Pentium 4 2GHz - - - $562* 1.7GHz - $701* $352 $352 1.5GHz $637 $519 $256 $256 1.4GHz $423 $375 $193 $193 1.3GHz $332 $268 $193 $193 Pentium III Tualatin 1.2GHz - - - $321* $294 1.13GHz - - - $294* $268 Pentium III 1.13GHz - - - $268* $241 1GHz $241 $225 $225 $193 933MHz $225 $193 $193 $183 866MHz $193 $163 $163 - 850MHz $193 $163 $163 - Celeron 900MHz - - - $170* 850MHz - $138 $138 $112 800MHz $112 $93 $93 $89 766MHz $103 $79 $79 $76 733MHz $83 $76 $76 $73 700MHz $79 $73 $73 $69 667MHz $73 $69 $69 - *Price at launch Here are some due dates for the upcoming CPUs: Pentium 4 1.7GHz - on 23 April Pentium 4 2GHz on the older Willamette core (Socket 423) - due in June Tualatin and Pentium III 1.13GHz on Coppermine core – due in June Celeron 900 – due in June And now we would like to make a few comments of ours: One of the greatest price drops for the entire history of Intel Corp. will take place on 29 April 2001 and will touch upon Pentium 4 processors. All elder models will get almost two times cheaper. This is how Intel pentium4 will start its massive and aggressive attack to the market, so that to make 1/3 of all Intel’s processors sold by the end of the year. Pentium 4 younger models will cost less than the elder Intel Pentium III . Of course, this changes will inevitably tell on the competition between Pentium III and Athlon: the situation promises to be extremely tough for the latter, because the cost of similar systems based on MAD Athlon CPUs will be just the same as that of systems built on Intel Pentium 4. The fastest Pentium III on Tualatin core will no longer feature 1.26GHz as everybody had expected but only 1.2GHz. As for the price, it will be very close to that of Pentium 4 1.7GHz, which makes it absolutely undemanded. The same thing happens to the Pentium IIII 1.13GHz, which will cost just the same as Pentium 4 1.5GHz.Actually it looks as if Intel were ready to do everything possible to give way to its favorite, Pentium 4 CPU. By the middle of the year Intel will stop shipping mainstream processors with the core frequencies below 1GHz. Celeron 900 will also cost quite a lot: its price will be only $20 less than that of Pentium 4 1.3GHz. We suppose that its performance will also be not too much lower than that of Pentium 4 1.3GHz.
