AMD chip prices to go underwater? news.stocksmart.com DEC 29, 1998, M2 Communications - Intel Corp has decided to reduce the prices of its new and existing Celeron chips. The chips will now cost almost the same as the K6-2 chips of its rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). According to CMP Media's Computer Retail Week, it remains to be seen what AMD will do, because it has earlier pursued a policy of keeping its prices 25% below Intel's. Meanwhile, Intel has brought forward the introduction of its new 400MHz Celeron chip, and it will now be released in January together with the 366MHz Celeron chip, instead of in April. Computer Retail Week thinks that the reason for the early introduction could either be that Intel is ahead of its production schedule, or that it is worried about competition from AMD and Cyrix.
