Cirrulvr,

PII pricing

Intel ships Pentium III, slashes PII prices

Chip giant Intel formally rolled out its first two members of its Pentium III family today but didn't make a song or dance about it. It did that last week, at the Preview today.

But sources close to Intel US said today that the PIII/550MHz is now expected to ship in May at prices of $750/1000. The PIII/500 costs $696/1000 and the PIII/450 costs $496/1000.

The shipping of the Pentium III has now caused an inevitable drop in PII prices. The PII/450 now costs, the PII/400 $284, the PII/350 $150. The PII/300 now effectively drops off the bottom of the roadmap.

The price of the PII/450 should be contrasted with the price of the new PIII/450. ®

Cringe-A-Lot - Re: "You don't have any type of point to make, do you???"

Here's a point:

"The best-selling individual PC at retail in January was the Hewlett- Packard 4450, a Celeron 366-based machine with an average selling price of $874. "

That machine was only introduced in January, so we'll see if the momentum carries over into February.

After all, AMD did pre-announce an upcoming LOSS for Q1. There must be a GOOD REASON for that loss.

Paul
