Intel Reduces Chips Prices

After a big plunge in the profit, Intel has taken this major step to cut its processor prizes for 48 percent.

I don’t know if the rebate in prices has something to do with the poor results of Intel Corp’s fourth quarter, where profits were seen declined to 90 percent. But it announced that it is going to sell its microprocessors for much lower prices in order to comply with the recession.

The processors, which will be available for special prices, include Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Celeron, and even Pentium dual-core. The special cuts on prices were ranging from around 13 percent to a 48 percent.

The mobile Celeron 570 with a capacity of 2.00 GHz, which costs around $134, is now available for $70. There is also a set of Xeon processors, which received hefty cuts. For example, the X3370 processor with 3.00GHz capacity, which used to cost around $530 is now available at $316.
